AdvocatED brings deep, specialized expertise in these processes at a fraction of a law firm's cost.
Immediately. The Citadel 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.
Most schools, including The Citadel, allow students to bring an advisor to conduct hearings. We will confirm exactly what Citadel's current policy permits and advise on how to have expert guidance in your corner, whether that means sitting with you at the hearing, preparing your opening statement, or conducting intensive pre-hearing preparation around the specific evidence in your case.
Title IX matters at The Citadel 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. If you are a respondent in a Title IX case, you should not conflate the process with a conduct case, and you should respond carefully to any notice you receive.
