Facing a Committee on Discipline (COD) proceeding? AdvocatED advisors know MIT's specific process, not generic advice, but guidance built around how your institution actually works.
MIT's Committee on Discipline (COD) is a faculty-student panel that hears serious misconduct cases. Academic integrity violations may be handled at the department level or escalated to the COD. MIT's high-pressure academic environment generates frequent collaboration and academic integrity cases, particularly in STEM courses.
This specific institutional knowledge is what separates AdvocatED from generic advisors. We provide guidance tailored to how MIT's actual process works, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
