Consequences of Plagiarism

According to the NYU Website: 

" A faculty member who suspects a student of plagiarism, cheating, or another academic integrity violation must report the incident to the Associate Dean of Students, who will determine whether a previous complaint against that student exists. If there is no prior report, the Associate Dean may counsel the faculty member to resolve the matter independently with the student to advise her on the conventions and expectations of academic integrity, as pertinent, to come to a mutual agreement on the facts and, if warranted, on a penalty (e.g., failure for an exam, paper, or assignment, failure for the course). The faculty member may also present the evidence of suspected cheating, plagiarism, or other violation to the Associate Dean of Students for consultation. If the matter is resolved between the faculty member and the student, the faculty member will submit a report on the incident to the Associate Dean of Students, who will place it in the student’s file. The Associate Dean of Students will notify the student within fifteen days of initial notice that a record has been included in her file, and a that a second charge will trigger a formal disciplinary review. The Associate Dean of Students will keep a record of reported instances of academic integrity violations.The Committee decision may include any one or more of the following disciplinary sanctions:

a) Warning: notice to the student, orally or in writing, that continuation or repetition of  the conduct found wrongful, or participation in similar conduct, shall be a cause for further disciplinary action. 

b) Censure: written reprimand for violation of a specified regulation, including the  possibility of more severe disciplinary sanction in the event of conviction for another violation of a University regulation within a period of time stated in the reprimand;

c) Disciplinary Probation: exclusion from participation in privileges or extracurricular University activities as set forth in the notice of disciplinary probation for a specified period of time; notification that a more severe disciplinary sanction may be imposed if the student commits a second disciplinary offense while on disciplinary probation; 

d) Restitution: reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property; reimbursement may take the form of appropriate service to repair or otherwise compensate for damages; 

e) Suspension: exclusion from classes and other privileges or extracurricular activities as set forth in the notice of suspension for a definite period of time;

f) Dismissal: termination of student status for an indefinite period; the conditions for readmission, if any are permitted, shall be stated by the Committee in the order of dismissal; 

g) Expulsion: permanent termination of a student's status.

If, as a result of any disciplinary action, the withdrawal of a student is required before the end of the term for which tuition has been paid, a refund will be made according to the standard refund schedule."
