Academic Regulations 5.10 states the following:
If plagiarism is detected in a student's work, the teacher may either demand the assignment be rewritten or require the student to repeat the course. When plagiarism is detected, the teacher must send a written notice to the dean who will keep a record of the violation. Repeated plagiarism may lead to the student being exmatriculated. The student may appeal decisions to the dean in writing.
