In the event that cheating, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty are discovered, each incident will be handled as deemed appropriate. Care will be taken that students’ rights are not violated and that disciplinary procedures are instituted only in cases where documentation or other evidence of the offense(s) exists.

The vice president may institute action against a student according to the college’s disciplinary policies and procedures as described in the Student Handbook.
