Colleges and universities in Minnesota have increased their 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, or using unauthorized resources including internet resources, unauthorized assistance.
Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student and schools are often in a rush to judgment. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or the assignment in addition to the response to the exam or the assignment, 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 disciplinary process and to defend against allegations of this nature.
