Colleges and universities in North Carolina have increased their use of online education and as a result, college students can, unfortunately, find themselves accused of academic misconduct related to their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include unauthorized collaboration, having unauthorized assistance, using unauthorized resources, plagiarism. Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student and schools, unfortunately, are often in a rush to judgment. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or assignment in question, the response to the exam or assignment to determine exactly what took place and whether there is 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.
