If you're a student at a college or university in Illinois and you're facing an academic misconduct charge, it needs to be taken seriously. Academic misconduct charges can impact a student both academically and professionally. It can impact graduate school internships, employment. Academic misconduct charges come in various forms. Is it plagiarism? Is it collaboration with other students? Is it cheating on an exam?
Whatever the charge may be, you have to understand your school's particular resolution method. Is it a hearing process? Is it an investigation that will take place to decide the outcome? If a student's appealing a finding of academic misconduct, the appeal process can be altogether different, yet, schools are often in a rush to judgment and not cognizant of a student's rights and interest through the process, so it's critical to understand that. An experienced adviser can help navigate the system and can also potentially help allow for a more favorable outcome.
