6.12.6.5 Penalties in the Case of Resolution by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals
A student who has been found guilty of an academic offence will be subject to a penalty or penalties commensurate with the offence. Some cases may warrant more than one penalty for the same offence, and previous academic misconduct will be taken into account in determining severity of penalties. Enforcement of penalties resulting from Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies will be overseen by the Registrar. A student who has been found guilty will be issued a Reprimand, which shall be in the nature of a warning to the student that the student’s behavior has been unacceptable to the University. Additionally, a student who has been found guilty will be required to successfully complete specific modules of INTG 1000 Academic Integrity and submit a written reflective evaluation as assigned. In addition to the Reprimand and INTG 1000, the range of penalties and their determination is:
Resubmission: of work with appropriate reduction in grade; will allow a student to complete and submit the work a second time.

Reduction of grade: will apply to an examination, test, or assignment to which an offence is relevant, or to the entire course, and will be decided by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals.

Rescinding of scholarships, bursaries or other awards: the recommendation for rescinding of scholarships, bursaries or other awards will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies to the Senate Committee on Scholarships and Awards for a final decision. In the case of a decision by the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals to rescind scholarships, bursaries or other awards, the decision will be forwarded to the Senate Committee on Scholarships and Awards for information. The Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals will notify the student, in writing or by email, of the recommendation or decision.

Probation: the period of probation will be determined by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals.
