The State: Cheating College of Charleston students get new grade
Students caught cheating at the College of Charleston will now be graded for their efforts รณ they will received a mark of “XF” which means they failed the course because of academic dishonesty.
Students who cheat or plagiarize will receive the grade if their actions involve deception or are premeditated, said Jeri Cabot, the dean of students at the college of about 12,000 students.
The XF grade will remain on a student’s transcript at least two years. After two years, if there are no additional violations, the student can petition to have the grade removed.
“It’s our position that as long as you have a clear record, the X will come off,” Cabot said, “but the F stays.”
