What should I do if I am accused of academic misconduct at a college or university in Michigan?

If you're a student at a college or university in Michigan and you're facing an academic misconduct charge, you need to take the matter seriously. An academic misconduct charge, if not favorably resolved, can impact you both at the present time and in the future. It can impact graduate school, internships, employment, professional licensing opportunities. Academic misconduct charges come in various forms. Not citing properly on a paper, plagiarism, cheating on an exam. Different schools use different resolution methods. Some use a investigation, some use a hearing to arrive at an outcome. What's your school's appeal process?

Unfortunately, schools are often in a rush to judgment and are not mindful of the student's rights and interest through the process. It's important that you understand that, and an experienced advisor can help navigate the process, can protect the student's rights, and can potentially allow for a more favorable outcome.
