If such violations are discovered by the proctor, the student shall receive a grade of zero for that subject in that session and may be referred to the Student Affairs Meeting of the student’s academic unit for deliberation depending on the severity of the case. For cases resulting in a Major Demerit, the matter shall be reviewed by the Student Recognition and Discipline Committee.
