Range Of Consequences For Plagiarism

2. If the severity of the situation merits it, the student may be given a grade of F for the course, switched to a paper based course and required to start the course over.       
   
   
3. For any subsequent occurrence in any course student shall immediately be dropped from the course and receive an F for a final grade.
