committed an act of academic dishonesty that is prohibited at the institution and may<br />
result in more severe disciplinary action should the <strong>student</strong> be found guilty of engaging<br />
in any subsequent act of academic dishonesty.<br />
2. A formal warning and the requirement that the <strong>student</strong> repeat or re‐submit the quiz,<br />
