should be pursued within the School without
recourse to a University Investigating
Committee.”

extensively cheated.”

to resubmit or undertake a further assessment)

SEVERE
“If the initial assessment concludes that a more
severe penalty should be imposed than the
School is permitted to enforce and is required
under University regulations to refer the case to
the University’s Investigating Committee of
the Senate.”

more severe penalty should be
