Reproduced from the institution’s own pages quoted below — potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case.

UNG's published sources on Turnitin, AI use, and academic misconduct, quoted and linked below. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case — UNG's own student AI guidance points to the Supplemental Syllabus and to each professor for what is allowed, so course syllabi and assignment instructions are among the governing documents, and the Student Code of Conduct itself is housed in a separate policy portal. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.

01Detection status

What is documented — and what isn't

Turnitin is in institution-wide use for similarity review. UNG's Supplemental Syllabus, which applies across courses, states (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 22, 2026):

"Students agree that by taking this course all required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection of plagiarism. All submitted papers will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers."

Source: Supplemental Syllabus — Academic Affairs. The same document states the Honor Code: "A student will not lie, cheat, steal, plagiarize, evade the truth, conspire to deceive, or tolerate those who do."

No campus-wide statement enabling or disabling Turnitin's separate AI-writing-detection feature was located in this review of UNG's public pages. The Supplemental Syllabus language above concerns textual similarity review; whether an AI-detection indicator runs on a given assignment is not addressed there. On AI use itself, UNG's student AI resources page answers "What is Allowed?" with (retrieved Aug 22, 2026): "Use the information from the Supplemental Syllabus and ask your professor." Source: Student Resources for AI. Your syllabus and assignment instructions are therefore among the relevant sources for your own situation. UNG also maintains an institutional AI policy in its policy portal (linked from that page); the portal requires access UNG controls, so it is listed in the source map below rather than quoted here.

What UNG's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present: “Yes, a student has the right to an advisor but this person may not actively participate in the student conduct process.” — Frequently Asked Questions, Office of Student Integrity (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 22, 2026) · Frequently Asked Questions — Student Integrity
What follows on the record: “The University of North Georgia does not notate academic transcripts for any academic or non-academic conduct violations.” — Frequently Asked Questions, Office of Student Integrity (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 22, 2026) · Frequently Asked Questions — Student Integrity

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 Student Integrity's Frequently Asked Questions (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Aug 22, 2026) — student-facing, on the academic-misconduct process:

"If a faculty member believes that an academic misconduct incident occurred in the classroom, the faculty member should be meeting with the student to discuss the incident. If after discussing the incident with the student, the faculty member still believes there to be an academic misconduct violation, the faculty should then submit an academic misconduct report. Once the report is received, the student will receive an email outlining the allegations and will provide the student 5 business days to respond. If the student disagrees with the allegations, a meeting is scheduled and the student is prepared to have their case heard by the Student Conduct Committee panel." "Hearings regarding Academic Misconduct are heard only by a Student Conduct Hearing Panel." "Yes, a student has the right to an advisor but this person may not actively participate in the student conduct process." "Students will receive a final grade for the course. Once the case has been resolved, if the student is found not responsible, a grade change form will be completed by the referring faculty member." "The University of North Georgia does not notate academic transcripts for any academic or non-academic conduct violations." "Students can only appeal if they have been suspended or expelled from the University."

Source: Frequently Asked Questions — Student Integrity. The FAQ also states that all conduct communication is sent through university email and is considered received, and that hearing officers and panels are "trained in due process, credibility assessments, measuring evidence/standards of proof." The controlling documents — the Student Code of Conduct Policy and the Student Code of Conduct Procedures for Alleged Violations of Academic Misconduct and Professional Standards — are housed in UNG's policy portal and are linked in the source map below; their contents are not reproduced here. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page

2026-08-22 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the ung.edu pages linked beside them; the source pages displayed no on-page revision dates, so retrieval dates are recorded instead. The Student Code of Conduct Policy and the academic-misconduct procedures are hosted on UNG's policy portal (northgeorgia.policystat.com), which could not be captured as text in this review; they are listed by title and link only, with nothing quoted or paraphrased from them — a manual read is required before any of their contents are characterized here. No campus-wide statement on Turnitin's AI-writing-detection feature was located, and none is asserted; the page states that absence rather than a vendor claim on UNG's behalf. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter. Internet Archive captures: to be added.

2026-08-23 — Searched ung.edu for an ombuds or student-advocacy office; none located. UNG's Office of the Dean of Students states that it “advocates for and supports students” and helps them “navigate university policies and processes,” but is not described as an ombuds and is the same division that administers conduct; its contact details were not captured in this pass and are flagged for the next review. Sources re-fetched and compared this date; automated pass, not a human review.

2026-08-23 — Ombuds search resolved this date: the site owner independently searched ung.edu and found no ombuds or student-advocacy office, corroborating the earlier automated search. The absence is recorded as a finding. UNG's Office of the Dean of Students states that it "advocates for and supports students" and helps them "navigate university policies and processes," but is not described as an ombuds and sits in the division that administers conduct.

2026-08-23 — Section 02 now opens with the two questions an adviser raises first. Both answers were already quoted in this page’s section-02 prose from the Office of Student Integrity’s FAQ and were hoisted into the block rather than re-fetched; the prose below is unchanged. The FAQ is the first-party statement available on both questions, since UNG’s Student Code of Conduct sits behind a login the FAQ itself acknowledges. Automated pass; no human review is claimed for this entry.

2026-08-23 (later pass) — Full source re-verification. Re-fetched and compared this date, unchanged with every quotation verbatim: the Supplemental Syllabus (Turnitin clause and Honor Code), the Student Integrity FAQs (all six section-02 quotations, the advisor and transcript-notation answers, and the panel-training language), the student AI resources page ("Use the information from the Supplemental Syllabus and ask your professor."), the AI at UNG index, and the conduct-policies index. Office campus locations and phone numbers re-confirmed from the FAQ this date, resolving the earlier flag on the Dean of Students contact details. Detection status re-checked: no campus-wide statement enabling or disabling an AI-writing indicator was located this date either; the stated absence stands. Noted for the manual read that remains pending: UNG's pages now reference the Student Code of Conduct at three distinct policy-portal addresses — the Supplemental Syllabus links policy.ung.edu/policy/details/1437, the FAQ links northgeorgia.policystat.com policy 19599430, and the conduct-policies index links policy 10386567 — and every one of them returns nothing to a plain fetch, so all remain listed by title and link only with nothing quoted or characterized. Internet Archive captures could not be requested this date — the Save Page Now endpoint is unreachable from this run environment; captures remain to be added. Sources re-fetched and compared this date; automated pass, not a human review.

2026-08-31 — Sources re-fetched and compared this date; automated pass, not a human review. Re-fetched and unchanged with every quotation verbatim: the Supplemental Syllabus (Turnitin textual-similarity clause and Honor Code), the Student Integrity FAQs (all six section-02 quotations plus the advisor and transcript-notation answers), and the student AI resources page ("Use the information from the Supplemental Syllabus and ask your professor."); the AI at UNG index and the conduct-policies index were re-fetched and carry no change. Office campus phone numbers re-confirmed from the FAQ this date (706-864-1900, 678-717-3877, 706-310-6205). Detection inventory re-run this date across the named-vendor and category sweeps over UNG's AI, integrity, and conduct pages: no detector beyond Turnitin textual-similarity review was located, and no campus-wide statement enabling or disabling Turnitin's separate AI-writing indicator was found — the stated absence stands, now recorded as the finding of an explicit two-sweep check rather than a single-tool assumption. Ombuds/advocacy search re-run: none located on ung.edu. The three policy-portal addresses for the Student Code of Conduct remain unreachable to a plain fetch and stay listed by title and link only, nothing quoted. No captures requested this pass.
