Egregious Offenses

For egregious offenses of academic dishonesty, the committee may recommend supplementary discipline in the form of college service. The committee may also recommend a maximum penalty of expulsion from the university or a lesser penalty as it deems appropriate.

A record of the offense and penalty shall be included in the student’s academic record. In the event of a suspension, the committee may place a statement on the student’s transcript indicating that the suspension was the result of academic dishonesty. If the student commits no other offense of academic dishonesty, he/she may petition the university upon graduation to have his/her record expunged. An offense resulting in expulsion cannot be expunged from the student’s record.
