Receiving a notification about a suspected academic offence can feel overwhelming, but don’t panic! Far more students are asked to attend these meetings than you may realise, and often they provide an opportunity to learn and improve.

The first thing you should do is read the notification and evidence carefully so that you understand the concerns that have been raised.

Academic offence meetings are a chance to explain your side of the story so you should prepare what you want to say, remembering that a clear and honest account is often in your best interests.  Don’t forget that support is available - SU Advice can help you understand the concerns and prepare a response, and also attend the meeting with you, if you wish.
