You overhear a student say that they used AI for their entire project. What do you do?

You can be sent to student conduct, and they will take measures and impose severe consequences.
Student: "I have an exam on this date, but I cannot make it. What should I do?"

To reduce workload, maybe even suggest dropping an organization or even a class (if it will not negatively affect them)
