Both were essays and I practically copied word-for-word off some website for each essay.
What should I expect for this hearing? I have a clean record in my college. I'm just not sure if I should be coming with anything such as a letter of apology to show I regret what I've done. (Which I do, and it's not just because I got caught.)
Edit: plagiarizing
My thoughts are as follows:
For other uses, see Plagiarism (disambiguation).
Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."[1] Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure, up to and including expulsion

Hopefully not. There is no reason that a person who is caught plagiarizing twice should be allowed to stay in school at all. It is a gift that he wasn't expelled for the first offense.

You should apologize to your teachers, your classmates, and your parents. And you should withdraw from the school, take the rest of the year to figure out why you are interested in going to college at all. Reapply to the school if you decide you have a shred of integrity.
I'm sure you can find a letter of apology to copy from the Internet
Hope that they give you a ZERO-point in the class and you just need to re-take it. In my Uni, I think that when you repeated a course they gave you the second grade and not an average.
That would be better than being expelled.

Having recently read Once a Runner, I'm wondering: (a) if this guy's name is based on the character of the same name because they similarly cheated and were "caught"; OR (b) if the OP is a troll; OR (c) it's a coincidence and I'm reading into the situation too much.
Personally, I think when you cheated so blatantly the first time and got caught, the school was exceedingly generous to let you stay. Second time around-- same class! same ridiculous cheating method!-- I hope they kick your lazy ass out. As a hard-working student who earns my grades, I honestly take genuine offense at plagiarizing, especially when it's done in such an arrogant manner.
My 2 cents, FWIW.
Twice in the same class? I would expel you, and I'm pretty sure those in charge at my school would too. You're lucky you got of the hook the first time. I'd be surprised if you DIDN'T get expelled. I'd wish you good luck but you don't deserve it.
Troll? Can anyone really be so stupid?

When I was in school I had a professor that would flunk you if two people used too many of the same subroutine names in assignments. Since I was the TA for him later in college it wasn't any mystery who the cheater's were.
We didn't have hearings though, you just got an F or an fail (depending on your grading choice as A to F or pass/fail).
If you got caught twice your only regret is you got caught, so don't give us the bulls**t apology scenario. Get caught once, you know it's wrong, you stop, an apology works. Twice, you're an insincere SOB that should be kicked out of school and sent to vo-tech.

you're probably a troll. but since i'm a teacher, and pretty pissed off right now over some instances of cheating i've just uncovered myself, i can't hold myeslf back.
i hope you get kicked out of school. if you aren't interested in your education, they should throw your ass out and give your spot to someone who is. you applied to that school, and you got in, taking the spot of someone else who may have actually wanted to learn something. if there's anyone you should apologize to, it's those people out there who had the same stats as you and were for some reason rejected.
you don't want to learn? fine - nothing wrong with that. just get the f*** out of school and stop wasting the time and energy that should be devoted to those who do.
people who cheat in college are people who go on to cheat in the workforce - we owe our economic troubles to f***face cheaters like you.
You should run for public office some day.

You stated that you have a clean record. Not anymore. You basically cast a shadow of doubt on everything that you've done up to this point.
My guess is that you will be expelled.
Since you posted this dilemma on this website, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you are a runner. I'll put this in a language that you understand: The essay was your race. Your cheating was steriod use. The rest of the class did not use steriods. Everyone is mad at you. Your days at that school should be over.
do NOT plagarize any of the amazing words of me, mr. lo-fat, or you will truly suffer much pain.--lol--kidding dude,....or am i..(?)
plagarism is such a b*tch/pussy move--i stayed up many a nights w/ no sleep under much pressure in college writing my OWN sh*t becuz something i absolutely REFUSED to do was plagarize--i thought THAT lowly of the practice.
Steroids in sports & plagarism in academic/writing/intellectual affairs--much of sort.
Sorry--can't offer ANY sympathy here--except perhaps, to hope u may in the future exercize better moral judgment.

You have a 'clean record'. Does this mean 1) you have not cheated before; or 2) you have not been caught before.
I cheated once (did not get caught), on an AP calculus class at the end of HS - it did not count for anything (i.e., no college credit) since it was in the early days of AP courses and those things were just being worked out. Earlier today I was ruminating on this (which is why I am responding here) and I have always regretted having done so.
I also recall the time I was caught stealing as a 7, 8 or 9-year old -- getting caught was one of the best things that happened to me -- maybe this will have a similar effect on your life.
P.S. I have been on the other side of cheating as a college prof (although I no longer teach, but I see it often in my wife's classes).
