University of Michigan Student Conduct & Academic Misconduct Defense

Facing a Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) / LSA Honor Council proceeding? AdvocatED advisors know U-M's specific process, not generic advice, but guidance built around how your institution actually works.

University of Michigan's Academic Integrity & Conduct Process

Michigan routes most conduct matters through the Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR). However, academic integrity violations in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts are handled by the LSA Honor Council, a separate body. Different schools and colleges at U-M may use different processes, making it critical to understand exactly which pathway applies to your case.

This specific institutional knowledge is what separates AdvocatED from generic advisors. We provide guidance tailored to how U-M's actual process works, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
