Colleges and universities in New Mexico have increased their use of online education and as a result, college students, unfortunately, can often be accused of academic misconduct or an academic integrity violation for their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, unauthorized assistance, using unauthorized resources.
Professors are often quick to accuse a student and often will do so 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 assignment, the response to the exam or assignment to determine what exactly 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 and to best defend against charges of this nature.
