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

If you're a student at a college or university in Ohio and you're facing an academic misconduct charge, it's important to take the matter seriously. Academic misconduct charges come in various forms. Cheating on an exam, plagiarism, not citing properly on a paper, collaborating with other students. Whatever the charge may be, it needs to be favorably resolved because it can impact both the present and future opportunities. Graduate school, internships, employment, professional licensing opportunities can all be negatively impact.

Different schools in Ohio use different resolution methods. Some schools use an investigation, some a hearing, some a combination, what's your school's appeal process. Because schools are, unfortunately, often in a rush to judgment and not mindful of the student's rights and interest, an experienced attorney advisor can help navigate the process, can protect the student's rights, and can potentially help allow for a more favorable outcome.
