Probation: The student will be placed on academic probation If a student commits plagiarism on an IB or an IGCSE external assessment, BIS will inform the appropriate organisation and will support the consequences imposed by either organisation. Financial Reimbursement to BIS Lost or deliberately damaged books, non-return of library books, deliberately damaged property, etc. will be the responsibility of the student or parent/guardian.
