Failed a class after being accused on cheating on my final!! Apparently I copied another students work??

Guys I was my last 2 classes this term but now I have to stay an extra term to make up a class I “failed”

First they accused me of AI , which I never used in the 2 years I’ve been with SNHU. I appealed it and they told me that my paper matched a prior students work ?!?!

We’re literally online what student would I have gotten my paper from? Like they give out the same assignments every term OF COURSE SOME ARE BOUND TO BE SIMILAR.

Mind you I paid out of pocket for the class..I genuinely feel so defeated. I was supposed to be done in October but now it’ll be dec-January. I’m so annoyed.
