What happens if I receive an Academic Alert?

First Academic Alert

When you receive your first Academic Alert, you will receive a zero on your assignment or exam. You will also be required to attend an Academic Integrity Workshop where you will learn about academic integrity, citation skills, and the resources that are available to all students at Alexander College.

Second Academic Alert

When you received your second Academic Alert, you will receive a zero on your assignment or exam. You will also be suspended for one full term. If you are suspended, you may wish to contact an Academic Advisor to discuss your eligibility for UPRE courses and evaluate your academic goals for the term following your academic suspension.

Third Academic Alert

When you receive your third Academic Alert, you will receive a zero on your assignment or exam. You will also be contacted by Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Academic Committee regarding your expulsion from the College.

If you are an international student, facing suspension or expulsion can also affect your student visa status. You may also want to contact Immigrants, Refugees and Citizenship Canada with regards to your student visa.
