If found responsible for a first incident of academic misconduct, the student will be assigned to complete an online seminar called the Academic Integrity Seminar, requiring substantial time (around 5-15 hours) and a fee of $105. The seminar is not offered by UI and the cost of the seminar is not included in UI tuition. The Academic Integrity Seminar requires essay answers based on readings drawn from current events, literature, historical documents, and other sources designed to help the student better understand the effects of academic misconduct and the importance of personal integrity. A student may not register for future UI courses until the student completes this Academic Integrity Seminar; a "hold" is placed on the registration and is only removed once the student successfully passes this seminar.

Each undergraduate college carefully tracks offenses on a shared data base, and these reports are shared across colleges. If a student is already a member of a UI college outside of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the associate dean of that UI college will be notified of the student's misconduct and this might affect a student's admission to that UI college. The student should contact the college in question for more information.

Students with a second offense are placed on disciplinary probation and are suspended by the College, even if the first offense occurred while the student's primary collegiate home was outside of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The suspension is recorded on the student's record during the time of the suspension. When the period of suspension ends, the notation is removed from the transcript but is kept internally in case another offense occurs.

A student may be expelled from the University of Iowa and from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for a third offense. This is added to the student's permanent record and is visible on the transcript. The student is not allowed to enroll in courses at UI or to graduate from the institution.

Note: At times, the sanctions are modified or combined based on the particulars of a situation. That is, a student with a serious first offense may be suspended or expelled, depending on the particulars of the incident. Likewise, a student with a second offense could be expelled if the incident rises to a very serious level of concern.
