I've been asked to an academic misconduct meeting, what do I do?

We have advice here on how to prepare for the different types of misconduct cases.

If you're not sure what has gone wrong, read through your essay with the Turnitin report, which you will usually have been sent, and think about whether
you have referenced properly and used your own words. Think about areas where you may have forgotten to reference.

Get in touch with ASK if you are struggling to understand what might be wrong and we can work through this with you.

What can I do if something affects my studies?

If something is happening in your personal life that means you're struggling with an assignment, you can submit an Exceptional Circumstances claim to ask for an extension or ask for a further assessment attempt. Make sure you submit a claim for an extension before the deadline has passed, and within 7 days of your original deadline if you're asking for another assessment opportunity. More information is on our Exceptional Circumstances page.
