I've been invited to a formal discussion about academic misconduct, what should I expect?

During an academic misconduct formal meeting, you will have the opportunity to explain how you approached the assessment task and the Academic Integrity Officers will show you why academic misconduct was suspected. You will also have the opportunity to raise any previously undisclosed special circumstances that may have impacted on your ability to make a rational choice at the time that the work was produced.

Please note, if you do not turn up to a formal discussion with the Academic Integrity Officers, the case could be considered in your absence.
