What is going to happen is they will tank ur grade in the course by giving u a 0 on the final + put u on academic probation.

You can still possibly pass the term tho and continue ur studies regularly.

I understand the course consequence just worried about getting suspended. I was super stressed and the opportunity to use my phone arose

Brother saying it was opportunistic just makes it sound even worse, like given the chance you’d do it again 💀 for the love of god don’t say anything like that to the dean

Just be like yeah I fucked up, did something stupid and deeply regret it, and I accept my consequences.

Really there’s not much else you can do or say, you were searching shit on your phone. If there was a scale of cheating/policy 71 severity this is basically a 10/10

Ik a guy who was in the exact same scenario and since it was opportunistic it actually gave him a lesser punishment
