What CSULB's own documents say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

“Both the Complainant and the Student charged may elect to be accompanied by an Advisor of their choice, subject to the limitations set forth in this section, to any meetings, conferences, interviews or hearings.” On recording of hearings: “The recording is University Property. No other recording of the hearing is permitted.” — CSU Executive Order 1098, the systemwide procedure PS 21-01 directs OSCED to follow (revision effective Oct 6, 2023, per the CSU-campus-hosted copy read in this review; retrieved Aug 24, 2026) · Executive Order 1098 (PDF)

What follows on the record

Of a Disciplinary Probation sanction: “Is not Academic Probation. Will result in a temporary notation on transcript.” — Academic Integrity @ The Beach, OSCED's own student-facing slide deck (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 24, 2026). Executive Order 1098 adds, systemwide: “Suspension of one academic year or more, expulsion, withdrawal in lieu of suspension or expulsion, and withdrawals with pending misconduct investigations or disciplinary proceedings shall be entered on the Student’s transcript permanently, without exception.” · Academic Integrity @ The Beach (PDF)

The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution’s own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.

From PS 21-01, Policy on Academic Integrity Regarding Cheating and Plagiarism, CSULB's Academic Senate policy (document dated "Date: January 27, 2021"; retrieved Aug 24, 2026):

Source: PS 21-01 — Policy on Academic Integrity Regarding Cheating and Plagiarism (PDF). If the case escalates, PS 21-01 states OSCED "shall follow the timelines described in Executive Order 1098. Currently, EO 1098 states that the OSCED has 10 business days from the date it receives the form from the faculty member to notify a student about the documented incident and to schedule a conduct conference." OSCED then holds the student "responsible" or "not responsible" using, per Executive Order 1098, "a Preponderance of the Evidence… whether it is 'more likely than not' that the Student violated the Student Conduct Code" — the same standard OSCED's own student-facing slide deck states as "More likely than not (50% and a feather)." Possible OSCED recommendations run from no further action through "Educational measure," "Disciplinary probation," "Suspension," or "Expulsion," under authority of Title 5, Section 41301 of the California Code of Regulations. A student may separately request an Academic Integrity Committee (AIC) opinion, whose "meetings shall be closed" and whose opinion "may not be appealed," or pursue a grade appeal under PS-11-09.

CSULB's Regulation XIII (2024/2025; page metadata "article:modified_time 2025-08-13"; retrieved Aug 24, 2026), issued by the University president under Title 5, Section 41301, restates the same faculty-reporting step and cites "Academic Senate Policy Statement 08-02" as its authority — the policy PS 21-01 itself states it supersedes ("This Policy Statement supersedes Policy Statements 77-14, 85-19, and 08-02"). That citation is reproduced here as CSULB's own regulation currently reads, not corrected, because it is the President's own published text; readers relying on Regulation XIII's citation should confirm with the institution which document currently governs. Regulation XIII also names where Executive Order 1098 itself may be reviewed on campus: "Copies of CSU Executive Order 1098 Revised are available in the Office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development, USU-219." Source: Regulation XIII — Standards for Student Conduct. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page

2026-08-24 — Page created. All quotations captured this date from the csulb.edu pages and PDFs linked beside them; source pages carried their own dates where noted (Turnitin page article:modified_time 2026-05-22, first published 2017-09-18; AI for Teaching and Learning article:modified_time 2026-08-19; AI Guidelines article:modified_time 2025-09-08; PS 21-01 dated Jan 27, 2021; Regulation XIII article:modified_time 2025-08-13). Detection status is confirmed first-party and affirmative — ATS and DoIT both document Turnitin's AI writing detector as available for instructor use on Canvas assignments, with a caution that it "should not be used as a definitive judgment of plagiarism." This is not a step-2 disqualification: the tool remains available and documented as such, and the caution is about reliance, not a deactivation. No first-party statement addressing how an AI-detection score functions as evidence once a matter reaches OSCED was located — that absence is stated on the page. Executive Order 1098 was read from a CSU Chico–hosted PDF (2023 revision) because the official calstate.policystat.com copy returned nothing to plain fetches, matching the same capture method used on this site's other CSU pages; confirming the official copy is flagged for a manual read. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING: Regulation XIII (2024/2025, the President's own currently published Standards for Student Conduct) still cites "Academic Senate Policy Statement 08-02" as its authority for the cheating-and-plagiarism procedure, even though PS 21-01 (2021) states on its own face that it supersedes PS 08-02 (along with PS 77-14 and PS 85-19). Both documents are reproduced as CSULB currently publishes them; the discrepancy is stated, not resolved, and a reader should confirm with the institution which document currently governs. Ombuds capture: CSULB's University Ombuds (Office of the President) states first-party that it "does not advocate for any party," "does not represent the University," and "does not participate in any formal processes, such as grievances, appeals or litigation," and that it serves "all members of the campus community" — recorded as independent, matching the UGA/GSU pattern rather than the Buffalo/UNT in-office-advocate trap. No phone or email is published on its own Contact Us page (only staff names and appointment hours); that absence is stated rather than filled in from a third-party listing. Office contact: OSCED's phone and email are quoted from its own "Academic Integrity @ The Beach" slide deck; the USU-219 location comes from Regulation XIII, a separate first-party source, because OSCED's own landing and contact pages did not state a room number in this review. The Dean of Students office (Brotman Hall 201, a different office reached in this same search) was deliberately not used for OSCED's location. Two ATS event pages (Turnitin AI Indicator; What's New With Turnitin AI) returned no readable body text to a plain fetch and are listed by title and link only — nothing from them is quoted or characterized. The Faculty Center's "Student Conduct" page (csulb.edu/faculty-center/student-conduct) could not be fetched in this environment (rate-limited) and was not used as a source this pass. Subreddit demand scan not run (outside this run's research method). Automated research pass. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-08-24). Internet Archive captures: to be added.

2026-08-27 — Sources re-fetched and compared this date; no change found. The two detection sources were re-fetched and both quoted passages remain verbatim: ATS's Turnitin page (still article:modified_time 2026-05-22) with the "should not be used as a definitive judgment of plagiarism" caution, and DoIT's AI for Teaching and Learning page (still article:modified_time 2026-08-19) carrying "educators should not use other available AI detectors. Inputting student work into them could result in a FERPA violation." PS 21-01 (still dated Jan 27, 2021, still stating it supersedes 77-14, 85-19, and 08-02) was re-fetched and every quoted passage remains verbatim — the 30-calendar-day charge window, the reasonable-evidence and seven-year-records provisions, the conference-and-notification steps, the fourteen-calendar-day faculty decision, the AIC-review request, and OSCED's "10 business days" EO 1098 timeline. Detection-inventory sweep re-run: DoIT's own instruction that educators "should not use other available AI detectors" confirms Turnitin as the only university-approved detector; no second detector is documented first-party. Not separately re-fetched this pass, and retained as last verified 2026-08-24: EO 1098 (CSU-Chico-hosted copy), the OSCED "Academic Integrity @ The Beach" slide deck, Regulation XIII, the ATS Best Practice PDF, and the AI Guidelines page — flagged for the next pass, and the Regulation-XIII/PS-08-02 supersession discrepancy noted at build stands as recorded. Office and ombuds contacts unchanged. Archive capture: Save Page Now was unreachable from this environment this date (endpoint blocked); captures remain pending. Automated source re-verification; no human review implied.

2026-09-02 — Internet Archive captures requested this date by an automated capture pass; no human review is claimed for this entry. No quotation, date, finding or link above was changed by it.

Four sources failed capture, each on its first attempt and now resting seven days before it is eligible again: the Turnitin AI Indicator ATS workshop page, where the archiver reported the page not found; and three University Ombuds pages (Office of the President) — the Ombuds landing page, its Guiding Principles page, and its Contact Us page — where the host gave the archiver no response at all.
