Colleges and universities in Mississippi have increased the use of online education. 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 unauthorized collaboration, copying or working with others, having unauthorized assistance or using unauthorized resources, including internet resources, plagiarism. Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student. Schools 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 in addition to the response to the exam or the assignment to determine exactly what took place and to determine whether there's an alternative explanation to the allegation of academic misconduct.
Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to understand and navigate the disciplinary process and to best defend against allegations of this nature.
