I saw a question on Reddit the other day, asking what happens if someone gets caught cheating (or, by extension, for any academic offence) at 黑料不打烊. Hopefully all of you have done the Academic Integrity Module, so you鈥檙e aware of what it means to do honest work. If you cheat, any allegation against you gets forwarded to a Disciplinary Officer in your Faculty. They oversee the Disciplinary Process, which can be 鈥渋nterview鈥� style, or a visit to the Committee on Student Discipline. Generally speaking, if students are caught cheating they receive a failing grade on the assignment or test in question (which can sometimes result in a failure in the whole course). After a first offence, students are often placed on Conduct Probation; if they are caught again while on probation the consequences can be more serious. First-time or relatively 鈥渕inor鈥� issues often result in an Admonishment, which is a finding of responsibility but isn鈥檛 a permanent disciplinary record. More serious cases can result in a Reprimand, which is a permanent record held by the Office of the Dean of Students and can affect a students鈥� application to graduate school or other careers after University. People think nothing happens if you cheat or plagiarize, but that鈥檚 definitely not true. We can鈥檛 advertise individual outcomes because of our obligation to student privacy, but this doesn鈥檛 mean there aren鈥檛 serious consequences. Higher level stats can be found in the Annual Report of the Committee on Student Discipline. Study hard, stay well, and don鈥檛 cheat.troub
