Roommates pleaded guilty to theft what will happen now?

My debit card was stolen out of my handbag along with 20 pound cash and a 10 pound top up voucher. My debit card was then used twice on two separate days and money to the tune of 600 pounds was taken out. More had been attempted to be taken out but thankfully my limit had been reached. Anyway I pursued it with the police and the pictures of cctv proved my two close mates were responsible. They were arrested and admitted guilt probably due to over whelming evidence. Anyway the uni have moved them out of the campus and housed them somewhere else. They will have a meeting with the head on monday where it will be decided what should happen to them. They are both doing early childhood studies as their course which involves a placement each week with young children. Can I be rest ured that they will not be allowed to continue this particular course now that they have admitted guilt to a relatively serious criminal offense? I think u need a clean crb to be allowed on the course. Will they be allowed to change to a different course or simply thrown out? Their court date is in a few months.
