What should I do if my college student is accused of academic misconduct on an online exam or assignment in Louisiana? VIDEO

Colleges and universities in Louisiana have increased their use of online education and as a result, college students can often, unfortunately, find themselves accused of academic misconduct involving their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include unauthorized collaboration, copying or working with others, plagiarism, violation of testing conditions, the use of unauthorized resources including internet resources.

Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student. Schools can also be in a rush to judgment. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or the assignment and anything related. Also, the response to the exam or the assignment to determine exactly what took place and whether there's an alternative explanation to the allegation of academic misconduct.

Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the disciplinary process.
