I cheated on 2 exams back to back they have it on video and I have a prior offense do you think I will get expelled?? Any chance of suspension??
100% sure it is on video?
Yes 
You just posted that you were already expelled.
Im not expelled yet Im just expecting it
i have professor friends who have mentioned that students cheat when they’re venting but they never actually do anything about it (they mostly mention it as something they might use against them if they get super wacko and demand higher grades and stuff like that)
and i once reported someone for cheating but nothing was done about it
this was all at community college though so it might be different,
the former professor i mentioned was VERY strict about cheating in class yet outside of class as i said he didn’t actually follow through with those strict consequences, so i dont think professors will really care all that much. im sure it’s even more common at 4-year universities so i probably wouldnt worry too much about it unless you start demanding higher grades or act out enough to get em to use it against you. you can always just apologize and say you feel awful for it or what not, might make things worse. just dont do anything that would cause a professor to take action against you
i have been reported by the professors to the dean of students
oh, well im sorry to hear that :\ just beg for mercy? honestly that’s what they want. cry if you have to, it’ll be very persuasive. say you made a mistake and all that.
It appears you have been caught cheating 3 times. Since your case gone up the administrative ladder to the dean, expect repercussions. Check your school’s honor code as to what they might be. Expulsion could be likely.
The OP already got mercy
You should attend the meeting and answer any questions truthfully. Given that you have been caught cheating multiple times, it doesn’t sound like you will be contesting the charges.
you made your bed, now lie in it. you can’t really have expected to cheat on multiple exams and not experience any repercussions. you know what’s going to happen, if you made this thread looking to be comforted then sorry. maybe if it was just one offense, but three offenses- you know what’s coming. sorry, but everyone needs a dose of reality every now and then.
^ Agreed. OP, I am probably among the most “snow-flake-friendly” posters on CC and I have no sympathy. Grow up. Who do you think you are kidding? Society does not need lame workers who are incompetent because they got through life cheating. How can you claim to be sad? Oh, I see, you are sad you got caught, not sad that you cheated. Hmmm…well, guess what? You are cheating everyone.
If you had a legitmate problem learning the material for any reason, you should have made a plan with the professor. My husband is a professor and he will extend extra help to any student, but no, he will not tolerate cheating. That’s the way it should be, and hope your prof is the same. If you just don’t want to study, well, it’s time to go flip burgers for a living. So sorry you made these bad decisions.
YOU tell US…why do you feel justified in getting any tips?
My tip? Be brutally honest. And do not hope for another chance because you will not learn anything from it (as you didn’t before, it seems.) Hope to be expelled because you might be forced to see your problem clearly. Don’t blame anyone else. That is the first step to helping yourself to a better life.
You have said nothing indicating remorse, only a “what can I get away with” attitude. You are not entitled to cheat.
which grade are you in?
If it is not the senior or junior year, then you have multiple chances to get back on track.
I have never got expelled or had a friend suffer from the same situation, but I think everyone deserves a second chance. The only solution to this problem is to get over it and prove the colleges that you deserve the chance. You really have to show them that you have changed significantly into a mature and honest person through your essays, your scores, the teachers’ recommendation letters, etc.
Good luck!
Thank you and unfortunately I’m a senior in college
I am a student facing an academic dishonesty hearing, does anyone have any tips? Much appreciated!
I know it’s completely my fault for cheating and getting expelled. And I don’t plan on doing anything for a while besides reflecting upon myself (and working to support myself) on why/ how I got to this situation and how to make myself a better person. But I was wondering has anyone been in this situation and have any tips to offer on how to reflect, how to work towards a path of honest education, any colleges that you guys have been accepted to after a similar situation?
PS I feel terrible about myself, about what I’ve done, and know I am viewed very poorly in society so if you don’t have anything nice/ helpful to say please keep it to yourself.
@sadstudent20, you did not explain yourself in your initial posts. There was nothing to suggest remorse or a reflection on taking a different path. Requesting “Tips” does not tell the reader you want to take the harder, wiser path. In fact, when other students suggested ideas such as, beg for mercy, cry in order to be very persuasive, hope that the prof doesn’t follow through, etc., you certainly didn’t set these posters straight that that this wasn’t what you meant. In fact, you “liked” some of these suggestions. Perhaps it was only out of their own immaturity, but really, those students were NOT saying anything nice or helpful.
My husband is a professor. He and I have sometimes been shocked to the extent that some students feel they are entitled to certain grades or a degree just because they paid money to be in school. Or just because they think they want to go to medical school or whatever. These tend to be the same students who refuse to come to his extra (meaning, he is not expected to give them, and he is not paid extra to give them) remedial study sessions for struggling students. This may not be “you,” but know that that is a place I’m coming from.
If you took the time to read my other thread responses, (not that you should) I think you would find that I tend to bend over backwards with sensitivity toward posters’ feelings. However, there ARE times to be unequivocally firm, and this is one of them. Clarifying to you that NO tips striving to minimize the consequences of your cheating can be justified IS the most helpful and kind thing I can say to you. Suggesting any other path would be cruel.
If you struggle academically because of learning problems/learning disabilities/time management, get help with that directly. Most professors will help sincere students. If you struggle from emotional, health or maturity issues that impact your ability to study, seek counseling. If you just want to be young and carefree or have gap time to grow up and think about what you want to do next, get that out of your system while supporting yourself with a subsistence job ( please do not expect your parents to house and feed you unless you are willing to contribute in kind.)
You are young. You can change. I have no idea what other schools will think about your record. Maybe you could return to a four-year college after some honest coursework and glowing references from a community college or from an employer. Don’t despair, just do the hard work in front of you, give full appreciation to those who try to help you, accept that little about growing up is easy, and life can be good again.
@Yellowlover, I agree with you that people deserve a second chance. The problem her is that OP apparently WAS given a second chance yet still cheated back-to-back on two exams AGAIN. OP has hurt himself/herself tremendously by that. It gets exponentially harder to restore trust each time cheating happens.
Life can and will give third chances and more. But each chance given will require much more to get on track and stay there. Whether OP believes in karma, grace, sheer luck and/or or the hard work of atonement, I wish all the best.
