2nd year student expelled for first time plagiarism?

I am currently in my second year of study and am looking to change my course. however, around this same time I have been incredibly stressed and upset on my current course as I deeply misunderstood the course before taking it.

I aim to switch courses by the end of this year then work in my city until september when i start my new course.

the Issue that i want advice on is that i am concerned that my stupidity and stress that caused me to loosely follow a groupmates work has placed me under investigation from the university. my main concern is the likelihood of being expelled for this as I am keen on changing courses as soon as i can. (I should clarify that the course I want to do is almost solely available at my current university).

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. i have already began talks with the university about changing courses and will be contacting SFE as soon as an outcome has been decided.

Sorry to hear of the stress you are facing, that must be really tough. I promise though this will be resolved and you will move on from this.
But rest assured this is very very likely not going to result in immediate expulsion. Having said that Unis take plagiarism/cheating very seriously so some potential results could be one of a number of things e.g. academic probation, but by the sounds of it most likely scenario will be they give you a grade penalty/a failing grade or they fail you for the module so brings your overall degree result down. It may be they give you a grade penalty and give you the option of a capped retake later on, but depends on the severity of the situation.
If this is your first time doing this hopefully they will go easier on you, it's more so if you are a repeatedly doing this you would be expelled pretty quickly (or if you plagiarised/cheated for a big piece of coursework with a significant weighing on your overall uni mark).
Of course I'm sure goes without saying but try to avoid any cheating/plagiarism in the future, partly just hinders learning but also because it will be recorded and marked on your uni record so if it were to happen again you would have a much higher chance of getting expelled.
Hope the outcome is okay and they aren't too harsh on you!! Good luck!
