College Penalties for Multiple Offenses

  1. If the Provost’s record shows that this is not the first sustained complaint of academic dishonesty, the student is liable for a College penalty. The letter from the Provost to the student will also specify that this is not the student’s first offense.
  2. The Provost will request that the Associate Provost review the current and earlier complaints and make a recommendation to the Provost for a College penalty that will be in addition to the penalties exacted by each instructor. This may range from a grade of F for the course, to restrictive probation, to suspension for a specific number of semesters, to expulsion.
  3. The Provost will confer with the Associate Provost and make a decision on the College penalty.
  4. The Provost will convey the College penalty to the student in writing.
  5. The student may appeal the College penalty by appealing the charge as described in Appeals Procedure for Charges of Academic Dishonesty within one month of having received the Provost’s letter.
