Suspension (need real experiences please)

So my friend got suspended today because of plagiarism. Our school is a christian private (just saying lol), so counselor will definitely report this to the colleges to which my friend applied. In this situation, is he gonna get rejected from all colleges? is getting suspended because of plagiarism that much bid deal regarding to college process? All comments would be appreciated!
