My university says I violated their honor code, but I didn't. How do I prove my innocence?

Being accused of violating your college or university's honor code is a very serious allegation. Most schools have similar honor codes in the sense that it obligates a student to have an affirmative duty to maintain academic integrity standards, and then if confronted, to be forthright in responding to an allegation of academic misconduct or academic integrity.

If you did nothing wrong, if you're being falsely accused, it would be a matter of preparing the necessary response and defense to the allegation, so of course, depending on the specific allegations at hand, it will be highly fact-specific. Unfortunately, you can't depend on the school or their honor council to do the right thing. It takes a dedicated effort to be cleared of an academic misconduct charge, especially one involving an honor code. Having an experienced attorney advisor will help you best understand and navigate the process, and they should be involved in as early as possible in the case.
