If you're a student at a college or university in South Dakota and you're facing an academic misconduct charge, you need to take the matter seriously. Academic misconduct charges come in various forms: plagiarism, not citing properly on a paper, cheating on an exam. Because of what's at stake, an academic misconduct charge needs to be favorably resolved. An academic misconduct charge can impact graduate school, internships, employment, professional licensing opportunities.
Different schools use different resolution methods. Some schools use an investigation, some schools use a hearing. Some a combination. What's your school's appeal process? Because schools are often in a rush to judgment and are not mindful of the student's rights and interests, an experienced attorney-adviser can help navigate the process, can help protect the student's rights, and it can potentially help allow for a more favorable outcome.
