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

With the ever-increasing use of online education, college students in Colorado can unfortunately often find themselves accused of academic misconduct involving their taking over an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include unauthorized collaboration, working with others, copying from others, plagiarism, using various unauthorized resources including internet resources.

Schools and professors are often in a rush to judgment and are often quick to make an allegation without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or the assignment, what was submitted in response, to determine exactly what happened and whether there's an alternative explanation to the allegation of academic misconduct.

Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the process and they'll help you best defend against an academic integrity violation of this nature.
