• any attempt to commit fraud;

Based on the seriousness of the offence and the presence of mitigating or aggravating circumstances, disciplinary measures may include one or more of the following or any other appropriate measure:

• A score of 0 given to the exam, paper or other graded activity concerned.
• A grade of F given to the course concerned.
• A grade of F given to all courses taken during the semester concerned.
• Suspension from all courses offered at Polytechnique Montréal for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of three semesters, to take effect from the date of the decision or starting from the end of the semester during which the decision is rendered.

• Temporary expulsion from Polytechnique for a set period of between two and 10 years.
