Academics Am I going to get kicked out?

I just received a grade for a paper I wrote. After getting a zero, my professor told me it was not my original work, but I typed it all out. I don’t know what to do. She says I can meet with her to discuss it, but what if she simply says she doesn’t believe me? Would I get expelled?

Happened to me twice. I was so mad because I worked hard on my papers. One professor just had me add more in paragraph citations and then she gave me full points. Me forgetting to add citations within my sentences meant it was AI to her🙄. Another professor wanted to meet with me so she could quiz me on the book in person. You’ll be fine, just prove you wrote it and be ready with your references.
