- Detection status
- No institutional AI-detection contract — the Delphi Center states UofL “does not hold an institutional contract with any AI detection provider,” that instructors who use such tools “do so as individuals,” and that outputs “should never serve as the sole basis for an academic integrity decision”; SafeAssign plagiarism checking and Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor proctoring documented in Blackboard; no Turnitin documentation located on UofL's pages
- Office in these sources
- Charges of academic dishonesty are handled through each academic unit's own procedures per the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities; the Dean of Students Office publishes the Code · Dean of Students Office · Student Activities Center, Suite W301, 2100 South Floyd Street · 502-852-5787 · dos@louisville.edu
- Ombuds or advocacy office
- Student Advocate, in the Dean of Students Office — “helps students navigate educational, personal, and other campus obstacles” per UofL, and manages the student complaint process under Redbook Sec. 6.8.3. Housed within the Dean of Students Office · SAC W301 · (502) 852-5787 · advocate@louisville.edu. UofL's separately titled Ombuds Office serves “staff, faculty, administrators and postdocs” and states “Students should consult the Office of the Student Advocate,” so it is not a resource for the student reader of this page · student.louisville.edu — Student Advocate

Reproduced from the institution’s own pages quoted below — potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case.
The University of Louisville's published sources on AI detection and academic dishonesty, quoted and linked below. UofL's Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities assigns academic-dishonesty charges to “the appropriate academic unit level procedures,” and states that academic units “may have additional guidelines” — so your own school or college's procedure and your course syllabus are among the relevant documents, and this page quotes one unit's procedure as an example only. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.
What is documented at UofL — and what isn't
UofL's Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning, on its Generative AI and Teaching page under the heading “On the Use of AI Detection Tools” (page dated Aug 14, 2026; retrieved Aug 30, 2026):
Source: Generative AI and Teaching — Delphi Center. Read as published: no AI-writing detector is licensed institutionally, individual instructors may nonetheless run third-party detectors on their own, and the teaching centre's stated position is that a detector's output is never the sole basis for an integrity decision. A reader whose case involves a detector report is therefore looking at a tool the instructor chose individually, not a UofL system.
What UofL does document institutionally sits in Blackboard, its learning management system. The Delphi Center's Learning Technology Tools catalogue (page dated Jun 26, 2026; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) lists SafeAssign, Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor among Blackboard's tools — and no AI-writing detector. The SafeAssign page (dated Mar 21, 2025; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) describes it as a plagiarism checker, not an AI detector:
The Respondus Monitor page (dated May 5, 2025; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) describes exam proctoring, not text detection: it “acts as a virtual proctor for online exams,” records test-taking by webcam, and (per the page's own faculty-benefits list) “[a]utomatically flags suspicious behavior during exams.” Sources: Learning Technology Tools — Delphi Center, SafeAssign — Delphi Center, Respondus Monitor — Delphi Center.
No Turnitin deployment was located on UofL's own pages in this review, and the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities (University of Louisville 2026 edition; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) defines academic dishonesty — cheating, fabrication, falsification, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity — without naming artificial intelligence or any detection tool. No AI-detection tool was located in this review across the named vendors (Turnitin and its product names, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Examity), the Delphi Center's Blackboard tool catalogue, or the university's policy pages — an absence consistent with, and explained by, the Delphi Center's no-institutional-contract statement quoted above.
What UofL's own pages say about how cases proceed
- Who may be present
- Not stated in the sources reviewed. No provision naming a support person, adviser, note-taker or observer at an academic-dishonesty meeting, and none addressing recording, was located in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities (Sections 5–6), in Redbook Article 6.8's complaint and grievance procedures, or in the J.B. Speed School of Engineering's unit procedure. What that unit procedure does state, for its own school: “At the meeting, the student will be provided an opportunity to present oral testimony and written evidence,” and “The burden of establishing the student’s guilt rests with the instructor, who must do so by a preponderance of the evidence.” — Speed School Procedure for Dealing with Academic Dishonesty (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) · Speed School — Academic Dishonesty
- What follows on the record
- Not stated in the sources reviewed as to transcript notation, retention period, or disclosure to graduate programs, employers or licensing boards. What the Code states about consequences: an academic unit “may impose any academic punishment on the student that it sees fit, including suspension or expulsion from the academic unit,” and may recommend university-wide suspension or expulsion to the Provost. — Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Section 6 (University of Louisville 2026 edition; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) · Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities (PDF). On complaint files, Redbook Sec. 6.8.4.4 states: “a record of the complaint and steps taken in the complaint process will be documented and a copy maintained by the Student Advocate.” (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 30, 2026) · Redbook — Article 6.8
The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution’s own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.

One unit's published procedure — the J.B. Speed School of Engineering's, quoted because it shows what a unit-level process can look like, and scoped to that school only (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 30, 2026):
Source: Speed School — Academic Dishonesty. Other schools and colleges publish their own procedures; the Code directs students to “check with their instructors and academic units” for additional guidelines. The complaint-and-grievance path itself is in Redbook Article 6.8: complaints begin in writing to the Dean of Students Office, the Student Advocate makes contact “within 3 (three) business days,” academic matters that are not resolved go to the Student Grievance Officer and then the Unit Academic Grievance Committee, with appeal conditions listed in Sec. 6.8.10. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine. Source: Redbook — Article 6.8, Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures (retrieved Aug 30, 2026).

Revision history of this page
2026-08-30 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the louisville.edu pages linked beside them. First-party captures: the Delphi Center Generative AI and Teaching page (dated Aug 14, 2026; its main content is client-rendered and returned only navigation to a plain fetch, so the AI-detection statement was captured by browser read — a first-party capture), the Learning Technology Tools catalogue (dated Jun 26, 2026; plain fetch), the SafeAssign page (dated Mar 21, 2025; browser read for the same reason), the Respondus Monitor page (dated May 5, 2025; browser read), the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities PDF (2026 edition, fetched from the university's Widen document host as linked from the Dean of Students policies page), Redbook Article 6.8, the 2026–2027 Undergraduate Catalog Complaint Procedures page, the Speed School Academic Dishonesty procedure, the Student Advocate page (dated Jul 3, 2025), and the Ombuds Office page (dated Jun 25, 2026). Detection sweep recorded: named-vendor searches of louisville.edu for Turnitin (and SimCheck and Originality product names), Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus and Examity returned first-party documentation only for SafeAssign, Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor; the category sweep covered the Delphi Center's Blackboard tool catalogue (no AI-writing detector listed), the Code and Redbook policy pages (no tool named), and the Delphi Center's AI guidance (the no-institutional-contract statement quoted in section 01). Deliberate omissions: a Faculty Senate executive-committee document titled “Proposed AI Changes to Academic Dishonesty Section of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities” (May 2025) could not be fetched and is a committee proposal rather than adopted policy, so it is noted here and not quoted — the 2026 Code as published names no AI category; a legacy Department of English page titled “Policy Against the Use of Plagiarism Detection Software” now redirects to the department homepage after a site migration and could not be captured, so no department-level claim is made from it. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-08-30). Internet Archive captures: to be added.
2026-09-01 — Source re-verification, and a capture-tooling gap closed. All quotations re-fetched and compared: every quotation verbatim and unchanged, including the Delphi Center's no-institutional-contract AI-detection statement, the Respondus Monitor and LockDown Browser descriptions, SafeAssign, the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities (Section 6, re-read in full from the PDF), the Speed School procedure, Redbook Article 6.8, the Undergraduate Catalog's Complaint Procedures page, the Student Advocate page, and the Ombuds Office page. TOOLING NOTE, not a page defect: six of this page's sources (the Student Advocate, Generative AI and Teaching, Learning Technology Tools, Respondus Monitor, Speed School Academic Dishonesty, and Redbook Article 6.8 pages) serve a "Browser Update" interstitial to a plain fetch rather than their real content, even with a browser user-agent string — the capture recipe previously scoped to that shell without knowing it. All six are now marked as needing a session read, which this pass performed and supplied. The Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities PDF is hosted behind a Widen viewer whose direct download address is a signed URL that expires and must be read fresh from the viewer's own JavaScript state each pass; that is now documented in the recipe rather than left to be rediscovered. A thirteenth source was added: the Dean of Students Office's own contact page, which is where the docket's address, phone, and email actually live — the office contact block had never been tied to a captured source before this pass. Detection sweep re-run (named-vendor and category); no AI-writing detector found, absence stands. One quotation is now marked with the site's bracket convention rather than smoothed: the Respondus Monitor page lists "Automatically flags suspicious behavior during exams" as a capitalized list item, and this page's prose lowers it into a sentence, now shown as "[a]utomatically flags…" This is a source re-verification pass, not human review.
