Question about second honor code
I received an honor system violation once for a class during my freshmen year. It was a small violation and I was never allowed to speak with my professor about the issue and she never contacted me for anything besides my decision to accept a first time penalty or to take it to the council.
Now, I had to retake this class and some canvas stuff fudged up for the final. I believe due to the Shiny Hunters ransom situation, I was able to log into the final early and answer the questions. I was able to bypass the passcode and take the exam without actually being in the room. The problem is that I had absolutely no idea this was the exam. I was in a rush heading to class and I just guessed on the questions while skimming through them. However, when I sat down I was told I could no longer take the exam and that I had to face the honor code.
Now, I know that canvas has had issues with lockdown frequently throughout my time at VT. They even sent out a warning saying that canvas was having issues with lockdown the day I took the test. I have heard of instances where my friend was able to take a canvas lockdown exam outside of lockdown browser. Furthermore, I only received a 70 on the test so if I had been cheating like my professor implied shouldn't I have received a higher score?
My main concern is that I may not be able to graduate with my degree since I have already taken this class twice and a double honor code might kill my chance at graduation.
What can I do? What would the honor council decide? Any advice would be appreciated.
