What UGA's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

Facilitated Discussion: "The only parties present are the instructor(s), student(s), and Facilitator. The discussion may not be recorded." Continued Discussion: "The student(s) and instructor(s) may each have one advisor at the Continued Discussion. The advisor cannot address the Panel," and separately, "The Continued Discussion is audio recorded" by the university. — Resolving Academic Integrity Concerns – Process & Consequences, Office of Academic Integrity (page dated Jul 21, 2026; retrieved Sep 2, 2026) · Resolving Academic Integrity Concerns – Process & Consequences

What follows on the record

"A transcript notation which reads 'Academic Integrity Violation as Determined by the Office of the Vice President for Instruction.' The notation will remain until the student is no longer enrolled at university and two years after the Panel decision." "Students may petition the Office of Academic Integrity to remove the dishonesty transcript notation at the appropriate time." — same source, page dated Jul 21, 2026; retrieved Sep 2, 2026 · Resolving Academic Integrity Concerns – Process & Consequences

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

From the Office of Academic Integrity's Faculty Resources page (page dated Jul 21, 2026; retrieved Sep 2, 2026) — instructor-facing, and quoted here because it describes the process a student experiences:

From Resolving Academic Integrity Concerns – Process & Consequences (page dated Jul 21, 2026; retrieved Sep 2, 2026):

Source: Resolving Academic Integrity Concerns – Process & Consequences. UGA's Remediation to the Academic Record page (page dated Aug 9, 2024; retrieved Sep 2, 2026) adds a separate track for a first violation acknowledged in a Facilitated Discussion: "Students who complete the program will have their record retained by the Office of Academic Integrity in the event that a subsequent violation occurs; however, there will be no additional disclosure of the first violation to any party other than the student unless the university is served with a valid subpoena for the records." Source: Remediation to the Academic Record — UGA Academic Integrity. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine; these are reproduced so you can read the originals in context.

Revision history of this page

2026-08-24 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date, fetched directly as text from the pages linked beside them; no page required a browser workaround and none was client-rendered. Source pages carried their own dates of Mar 6, 2026 (CTL Academic Honesty & Generative AI), Sep 12, 2025 (UGA Libraries AI Detection guide), Feb 15, 2026 (eLC Plagiarism & AI Detection), Jul 21, 2026 (integrity.uga.edu Introduction, Prohibited Conduct, Process & Consequences, Faculty Resources), Aug 27, 2024 (Student Honor Code), Aug 9, 2024 (Remediation to the Academic Record), Aug 7, 2024 (Access to Records), Feb 6, 2026 (Ombudspersons About), and Mar 4, 2025 (Ombudspersons Contact). Note: honesty.uga.edu now redirects to integrity.uga.edu and the office refers to itself as the "Office of Academic Integrity" throughout its current pages, though the policy document remains titled A Culture of Honesty and one process page still names the "Office of Academic Honesty" as the report recipient — both names are reproduced as UGA's own pages currently use them. STEP-2 CHECK: not a disqualification — CTL cautions that Turnitin scores are not "a definitive measure of misconduct" and reports a 4% sentence-level false-positive rate, but does not disable the detector or recommend against its use; the AI Writing Detector remains "the only AI Writing Detector approved for use at UGA," so the school was built rather than excluded. Ombuds trap check performed: UGA's Ombudspersons program serves students, faculty, and staff (not one population only) and its "What does an Ombudsperson not do?" list states it does not "Participate in formal processes" or "Receive official reports or complaints," which places it outside — not inside — the Office of Academic Integrity; recorded as independent rather than an advocacy program embedded in the conduct process. Deliberately not quoted: the 2022 Academic Integrity Policy PDF (listed by title/link only — not read end to end this run) and the 2023 "ChatGPT Guidance for Instructors" PDF, which CTL's current, actively maintained Academic Honesty & Generative AI page appears to have superseded; the older PDF was fetched and read but nothing from it is quoted or relied on here. No campus-wide statement addressing evidentiary use of AI Writing Detector scores in a Facilitated or Continued Discussion was located on integrity.uga.edu — recorded as an absence, not inferred. Subreddit/forum demand scan not run this pass (not part of this run's research method). Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-08-24). Internet Archive captures: to be added.

2026-08-24 — Automated research pass, not a human review, run the same date as page creation. Sources re-fetched and compared: the CTL Academic Honesty & Generative AI page, Prohibited Conduct, Process & Consequences, Faculty Resources, Remediation to the Academic Record, the Ombudspersons About page, and the Office of Academic Integrity's Contact Us page — every quotation captured at creation was found unchanged and verbatim on a second, independent fetch, and every source's own modification date matched what this page already records. No factual change to the page was required. This entry exists to confirm the page holds up before its pending first human review, not to supersede that review. Reviewer: none — automated pass.

2026-09-02 — Sources re-fetched and compared this date; automated pass, not a human review. Twelve of fourteen linked sources unchanged and verbatim, including the CTL AI-writing-detector guidance in full, the Libraries' corroborating guide, the Prohibited Conduct AI clause, the Facilitated/Continued Discussion procedure and transcript-notation quotations, the Remediation to the Academic Record track, and the Office of Academic Integrity and Ombudspersons contact pages. Content change found: eLC's "Plagiarism & AI Detection" help page no longer describes the Turnitin AI Writing Detector anywhere in its text — the sentence this page quoted, "This tool uses advanced machine learning algorithms to identify text likely generated by AI tools," is absent from the current page, which now covers only general Turnitin/eLC mechanics (accounts, gradebook sync, Similarity Reports). The page's own `article:modified_time` metadata is unchanged from the prior capture despite this, so the removal is not announced by the page's own dating convention; the quotation is removed from section 01 and the finding recorded here rather than left silently stale. This does not change the page's detection-status finding, which rests on the CTL and Libraries pages, both independently confirmed unchanged. Two minor capture-only gaps, neither a content change: the four numbered appeal grounds on the Process & Consequences page are captured without their "1./2./3./4." labels (an ordered-list numbering this repository's html-text extractor does not reproduce) though every word of the four grounds themselves is present and unchanged; and the three office emails (integrity@uga.edu, appeals@uga.edu, ombuds@uga.edu) are served through Cloudflare's data-cfemail obfuscation, which this repository's tools/capture.py does not decode (unlike the sibling licensure-mobility/sped-safeguards repos' copies) — all three were manually decoded and confirmed unchanged for this review, but the mechanical packet still shows them as literal placeholder text. A working session should port the cfemail-decoding fix into this repo's capture.py. This page's packet was re-captured through its existing recipe (digest e0a508f84e9f) and is not yet listed in tools/fidelity-gate.txt.
