What are the consequences of a Departmental Hearing?
A departmental hearing may result in one of a full range of outcomes. The chair may decide that the violation did not occur and/or that no penalty should be assessed. On the other hand, the chair may decide that a violation did occur and impose a penalty ranging from reduced grade, zero on the assignment, F in the course, probation, suspension, expulsion, etc. Sanctions of suspension or expulsion are reviewed automatically in a college hearing unless such a hearing is waived.
