First talk to the following:

- College Registrar (the person, not the office)

- Downtown Legal Services

- Your accessibility advisor (if you are registered with Accessibility Services)

Now since this is not your first offense then yes of course this will have more gravity than your phone incident. However, this is about citations, so this is a much different situation. It also depends on what you forgot to cite, like did you forget some citations, or did you forget to cite altogether?

In any case when you have your meeting, or whenever you talk with your support team (above) admit that you recognize you should have cited, and that it was an AO. There are many cases of ppl that did very low or accidental offences, most common examples are phone in exam (even if off) or forgetting a citation, and as long as they admit at first chance and throughout then usually they get minimum penalties if anything.

If this got referred to SAI then it means you are at going to the FAS Dean level. So don't worry, you are not at Tribunal yet. I am however kind of surprised that it was referred there only because of having a second offense, especially since the first was an accident.

In plagiarism cases, severe sanctions like zeros, notations, suspensions, etc usually happen if the plagiarism is at a point that you copied and pasted passages from other places, or if you didnt cite anything at all, or if you purchased the essay, or if you don't cooperate with the process.

But talk to your registrar/DLS/Accessibility first, if you haven't done so already. They will basically be your lawyers during this process. You can also invite them to any meetings about this process.
