Thanks for the response. Before I had been accepted, I had to fill out a central application that asked if I had any disciplinary record at my current school and of course at the time I did not but could possibly have one now. And before enrolling, I would have to submit my final transcripts and they would likely notice an XF/F on the transcript or anything else, thus I would want to go in provide an explanation on the whole thing before that is brought up, but that is a good point. And the narrative would be a bit different than the OP for sure, and would go into more detail about the events that took place. I'm thinking that in the event I would need to talk to the school I am accepted into, I would definitely bring up lessons learned and the misunderstanding that took place during the exam but make sure not to sound like a complete victim. Ultimately my academic career is under my control in how I handle these situations, so that seems like the best way to put it.

Thank you for the response, sounds like going after any possible sanction would be the best course of action.

Hi all, To give a background to the title, I am currently a senior in my undergraduate university and am in an academic integrity case that claims I cheated on an online exam in one of my courses for the semester. Not to go into finer detail, but I did not cheat on this exam, however it is difficult to refute with the evidence they have and it will likely result in some form of sanction. By the university's policy, it seems like the sanction will likely result in an XF on my transcript that can be removed in 6-12 months and will just remain as an F. Also a part of this situation is the fact that I recently got accepted into a graduate program right before the case was brought up. Before any sanctions, I was planning on driving to the university, explaining the situation in full and both sides on the case, and hoping they might understand the situation. Without going into the details of the case, does anybody have any advice if this is a good idea considering the scenario? I'm coming into the situation expecting the worst (an XF and loss of acceptance) and hoping for the best, but am trying to be realistic considering the scenario. If I lost my acceptance, I would likely take a year off to get the XF removed and try to find work in the field (physical therapy) and do my best with the situation. If anybody has any advice on the situation in general as well, it would be much appreciated. Thanks for anyone taking the time to read and/or respond as well.
