What happens if I am accused of violating the Honor Code (for cheating or plagiarism)?
A. If you are accused of violating the Honor Code, there are several possible outcomes. You may meet with your professor to discuss the issue and they can issue an academic penalty (the grade). You will also be referred to the Office of Academic Integrity who will investigate and determine if you did violate the Honor Code and if so, what non-academic penalty you may receive.
