A CSM student accused of assaulting a fellow student was convicted of assault and battery resulting in great bodily injury in August.
John Williams, 19, of Foster City was sentenced to three years after agreeing to a plea bargain.
Williams was originally charged with battery causing immense bodily injury, assault with intent to inflict great bodily harm and resisting arrest. As part of the deal, two of the charges were dropped.

Defense attorney Cristina Mazzei was unavailable for comment.
