Sanctions (punishments imposed for acts of academic dishonesty or code of conduct violations) are categorized by levels (based on the severity of the infraction/offense committed by the student or based on whether the infraction has been repeated by a student). Sanctions are categorized by degrees, Level 1 , Level 2 and Level 3 . Sanctions categorized as Level 1 sanctions are considered less severe punishments in response to violations. If a student repeats an offense, the level of the sanction increases. Some offenses ( based on severity ) do not have a Level 1 sanction associated with them. In such cases, the college views the offense as being so extreme that the offense is automatically elevated to a Level 2 or Level 3 offense upon execution of the act itself (i.e., paying a third party to complete assignments, bringing a weapon on campus, etc…). In such cases, the student could face suspension.
