Major Breach - Penalties?

Hello,

I would like academics and professors to answer this post ideally.

I am awaiting a formal email allegation regarding Major Breach of Academic Dishonesty. I am a postgrad student (not doctoral) but received comments that the citations in my work are invalid - although this is unintentional, it is true.

It is my first breach in my life, and in my part time postgrad program, as I work full time in adjunct to my studies.

It’s just a waiting game for the email, but I plan to be remorseful, honest, and respectful. I will also provide a medical certificate and mental health plan from my doctor. But I will make very clear that this is not an excuse for my actions but merely just to provide context. I also will plan to mention that I acknowledge and accept full responsibility and penalties that will be imposed.

What are the chances of the following:

• reduced mark
• Zero for the assessment
• Zero for the whole unit

Thank you all and appreciate it.
