The tribunal also said that i would be given an annotation on my transcript of the offence which would expire within 9 months. I am now in my 5th year here at UofT and set to graduate. However The instructor has accused me of copying someones lab which is worth 2%. I explained my situation to the instructor and he said he would try and go easy on my when reporting it to the department. Will this be considered my second offence or first as the annotation previously given to me has long been expired and what can i expect? It was a 2% lab and i do not need the course to graduate.

I was in a programming course, worked with someone on an assignment, didn't blatantly copy each other, but we shared similar ideas and techniques. However I went to help somebody else who struggled, he obviously didn't copy me directly again, but somehow...his code ends up looking the same as the original person I worked with.

All 3 of us got called in, the other two were in a more precarious situation, however we got left off with a simple warning...don't do it again. But this event may be traumatized me and made me realize that I need to leave my own footprint on my own work that won't resemble anyone elses....
