I was fired for cheating.

<p>I take full ownership of my actions. With this said my actions were having notes out on my desk while I was testing. I know nothing excuses this fact. But, at that time I was recovering from a recent surgery. I was heavily medicated (Vicodin and Soma) and the university was aware of this. I accidentally left the notes on my desk pushed to the edge opposite from me.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to make any excuses. I just want the facts to be clear. And the -<strong>Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student</strong>- applies to parents of students over 18 when the student is still being claimed as a dependent and the student agrees to have such information released.</p>
