How quickly do I need to act after receiving a notice from Office of Student Conduct?

Immediately. Marshall University sets strict deadlines for responding to allegations and filing appeals, often 5 to 10 business days from the date of the notice. Missing these windows eliminates procedural options that are otherwise available. Contact AdvocatED as soon as you receive any notice.

Can AdvocatED attend my Marshall hearing with me?

Title IX matters at Marshall University are generally handled by a Title IX office separate from general academic misconduct proceedings. Title IX cases have their own procedures, evidence standards, and timelines under federal regulations.
