Students caught cheating on an exam receive a grade of zero on the exam in their first cheating attempt and receive a warning. Students caught cheating for the second time will receive a grade of “F” in the course and another warning. Plagiarism on assignments and project work is a serious offense. If plagiarism is detected, a student will be subject to penalty, similar to the cheating case, which ranges from receiving a zero on the assignment concerned to an “F” in the course in addition to a warning.
