6. The academic dean will inform the student of his or her decision in
writing within five college instructional days of the meeting. The
decision of the dean will be final.
This dean may choose to confer with a group of his/her peers while making this
decision.
If this decision results in a second incident being recorded in the data base of the
Vice President for Academic Affairs, the academic dean’s notification to the student
will include a warning that future violations could result in expulsion from the college.
If this decision results in a third incident being recorded in the Vice President’s data
base, the Vice President will direct the Expulsion Panel to convene to decide if the
student should be expelled ( Academic Expulsion Policy 100).
NOTE:
If the appeals process has not been completed by the end of the term, the
instructor should assign the grade of NR until the matter is resolved.
Records of the incident will be placed on file in the office of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs in the following cases:
1. The student accepts the instructor’s decision.
2. The student is found guilty by the department chair, and the student
does not appeal the decision of the department chair.
3. The student is found guilty by the academic dean.
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM POLICY
Cheating includes any attempt to defraud, deceive or mislead the instructor in
arriving at an honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that
involves presenting as one’s own the ideas or work of another. Through course
syllabi or course requirements, students will be informed of the cheating and
plagiarism policy. The policy has been established by Georgia Perimeter College to
insure due process in cases of cheating and plagiarism (See Academic Affairs Policy
101).

numbered 1000 or higher will be placed on the Dean’s List.
