Colleges and universities in New Jersey have increased the use of online education, and as a result, college students can unfortunately often find themselves accused of academic misconduct or academic integrity violations for their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include plagiarism, unauthorized assistance, unauthorized collaboration, the use of unauthorized resources.
Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student and schools can often 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 of the assignment, to determine exactly what took place and whether there is an alternative explanation to the allegations of academic misconduct.
Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the disciplinary process and to best defend against charges of this nature.
