What should I do if I am accused of academic misconduct at a college or university in Oklahoma?

If you're a student at a college or university in Oklahoma and you're facing an academic misconduct charge, it's important to take the matter seriously. Academic misconduct charges come into various forms; plagiarism, not citing properly on a paper, cheating on an exam. Whatever the charge maybe it's important that it be favorably resolved because it can impact a student both in the present and also regarding future opportunities. Graduate school, internships, employment, professional licensing opportunities can all be negatively impacted.

Different schools use different resolution methods. Some use an investigation, some are hearing, some are combination. What's your school's appeal process? Unfortunately, schools are often in a rush to judgment and are not mindful of student's rights and interest through the process. An experienced attorney advisor can help navigate the process, can protect the students' rights, and can potentially help allow for a more favorable outcome.
