I used Canvas and am accused of academic misconduct. What can I do?

Canvas, a course management system that supports learning and teaching sounds good in theory, but unfortunately, students can find themselves accused of academic misconduct related to their use of Canvas. As to what the specific allegations may entail would, of course, be specific to the circumstances. Was there a misunderstanding on the professor's part, on the student's part? Was it an honest mistake? Was there some, in fact, intentional wrongdoing on the student's part? The allegation itself in the circumstances at hand will be highly fact-specific.

If you're accused of an academic misconduct charged involving your use of Canvas, you cannot depend on the school to naturally do the right thing. It does take a dedicated effort for a student to be cleared of an academic misconduct charge.

Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the process, and they should be involved as early as possible in the case.
