Several things go into determining the level of sanction, remembering that each student is a unique case with unique issues. Some of the factors used to determine the level of sanction are students' academic record (have they had a formal learning opportunity already, do they have previous offences on record?), the College’s policy and procedures pertaining to the incident, faculty recommendation, discussion with the student to understand the situation better, review of the documentation and evidence submitted by faculty, discussion with Program Chair.
