What are the consequences for a student who plagiarizes?
Answer
According to Baker College's Academic Honor Code, a student who is found guilty of plagiarism may face:
- Failure of the assignment
- Failure of the course*
- Expulsion from the College
- Rescinding a certificate or degree
Determination of the grade and the student’s status in the course is left solely to the discretion of the instructor. The faculty may seek guidance from College administrators who will establish, investigate, or determine potential patterns of dishonesty. All honor code violations are noted in student records.
*A student is prohibited from withdrawing from a course in which an F grade is received due to a violation of the honor code.
