What should I do if my college student is accused of academic misconduct on an online exam or assignment in Alabama? VIDEO

With the ever-increasing nature of online education, college students in Alabama are unfortunately often accused of academic misconduct when taking an online exam or submitting an online assignment. Allegations can range from working with another student, collaborating with another student, using unauthorized resources including unauthorized internet resources, or various other tools to complete the exam or assignment.

Professors are unfortunately often quick to make an allegation without completing a full investigation or even interviewing the student. Defending against such allegations requires a very careful analysis of the assignment, the instructions, the answers, or responses submitted to determine if they're exactly what took place and if there's an alternative to the allegation of academic misconduct. Having an experienced attorney advisor will help you best understand and navigate the process and will be your best ally in defending against such allegations.
