When academic misconduct has occurred, the instructor is responsible for assigning an appropriate penalty in accordance with the Provider College’s policy. This may include failure of the assignment, course failure, or dismissal from the college. The college policy must be outlined in the course syllabus and uploaded in the ET and Course Site.
