Colleges and universities in Connecticut have increased the use of online education and as a result, college students can unfortunately often find themselves accused of academic misconduct involving their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, copying from others, working with others, the use of various unauthorized resources including internet resources.
Professors in schools are often quick to make an allegation without completing a full investigation or even interviewing the student. They can also be in a rush to judgment. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or the assignment and what was submitted in response to determine exactly what took place 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 to best defend against an academic integrity violation of this nature.
