Additionally, I will meet with the offending student, discuss the issue, and remind the student of the consequences of a second offense. Depending on the type of plagiarism, I may decide to give a student a zero in my course. Finally, as per Kalamazoo College&#8217;s Student Code of Conduct, the first offense will be reported to the Student Development Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 id=\"2-the-second-offense-will-result-in-a-student-receiving-a-failing-grade-in-the-class\">2. The second offense will result in a student receiving a failing grade in the class.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, I will file a formal complaint in writing about the second offense to the Student Conduct Admin. (as per Kalamazoo College&#8217;s guidelines). The student will then be subjected to a Student Conduct Hearing and additional disciplinary actions may be imposed on the student, as outlined in the Student Code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page describes my plagiarism policy.
