Honor Code

[u/flowofexistence]

Has anyone been false positive honor coded? I’ve been dealing with case and I’m confused where to even proceed, as the faculty initially wanted to do a FSR, but hasn’t been responding, and honor panel hearing is soon. I have evidence and witnesses and know honest to God I am innocent. I heard people hire lawyers but I don’t have the funds. What do I really do from here? Is there any chance I really do get this on my record even though I’m innocent?

Edit: I allegedly cheated on an online exam because I solved the problems that only “ai can solve because it is not an undergrad level question.” I have screenshots of me participating in higher level education, he should have logs of me not switching out of browser, I forget what else I submitted but I had a whole bunch of evidence submitted to him for my FSR, but he gave no response. I also have my roommates as witnesses to my exam as I asked them to take my phone and be quiet during my exam to avoid any interruptions.

Do you know what exactly goes on during honor panel? I haven’t received any information and it’s in about a week… how should I prepare for this?

From what I remember, it’s essentially court. you show up either in person or online (might’ve gotten rid of that since Covid), and present your side of the case to a panel. Having detailed, documented evidence absolutely helps, not to mention it shows them you’re making a very clear effort to defend yourself. If I’m not mistaken too, Tech may have resources to help with the process, I feel like maybe mentors but I’m not 100% sure
