Adelphi's published sources on AI detection and academic integrity, quoted in brief and linked below. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case — the Academic Integrity policy and the Code of Conduct are the governing texts, the provost committee's guidance is faculty-facing, and course syllabi may add rules. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates or deadlines are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.

01Detection status

AI detection is in use at Adelphi

Turnitin runs through Moodle (FCPE instructional-tools page, modified May 7, 2026; retrieved Aug 21, 2026). The most detailed source is the Provost's Committee on Academic Integrity's "Guidance for faculty in reporting suspected GenAI misuse" (drafted January 2025; presented to the Faculty Senate Spring 2025; retrieved Aug 21, 2026). Brief excerpts:

"Faculty should use only Turnitin's GenAI detector […] A Turnitin AI report should be attached to every violation report of suspected GenAI misuse." "Both a faculty member's 'gut' and a Turnitin AI score should be considered grounds for further investigation rather than sufficient evidence in themselves." "…text paraphrasers like Grammarly will, if used extensively (to alter a large amount of text) or intensively (to substantially rewrite portions of text), register as GenAI content in Turnitin's detector."

The same guidance instructs faculty that a report should also describe corroborating features of the submission — it lists hallucinated or flawed citations, similarity to attached GenAI output, terminology beyond what the course covered, and sophistication beyond the student's demonstrated writing of known originality. The university's Academic Integrity policy separately treats AI-generated content submitted without attribution or authorization as a form of plagiarism.

02Published process

What Adelphi's own documents say about how cases proceed

Who may be present: “An academic integrity advocate is available to the student throughout the academic integrity process (investigation, resolution, and appeal).” — Academic Integrity policy, Procedures (last revised Mar 1, 2026; page modified Jun 3, 2026; retrieved Aug 23, 2026). Adelphi states the limit itself: “In cases referred to SCCS, the procedures and rights outlined in the Code of Conduct will apply,” and the Code provides “one (1) advisor of choice and one (1) faculty advocate” and states “Hearings shall be recorded.” · Academic Integrity policy · Code of Conduct (PDF)
What follows on the record: “Permanent notation of disciplinary action is made on the transcript whenever a student is expelled.” The same document states: “A student’s conduct records are routinely discarded after seven (7) years following the incident date. In the event of suspension or expulsion, records are maintained permanently.” — Code of Conduct, Transcript Notations and Release; Disciplinary Files and Records (document’s own footer states effective Aug 1, 2026; retrieved Aug 23, 2026) · Code of Conduct (PDF)

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

The provost committee's guidance states the evidentiary standard and the student's procedural position directly (same PDF, retrieved Aug 21, 2026):

"Adelphi (like many universities) uses the 'preponderance of the evidence' standard to sustain a violation report, not the higher standards used in certain legal settings." "…students have due process rights when facing an institutional sanction, and among those rights is a fair hearing and a chance to appeal the faculty member's decision." "When submitted, a violation report should be sufficient to persuade a neutral third party that it is more likely than not that the behavior described in the report constitutes a violation of our academic integrity policy."

Per Adelphi's policy and conduct pages (located and summarized Aug 21, 2026; read the originals linked below): suspected violations are reported through the Maxient system, preferably within two business days of discovery, and routed to the university's Academic Integrity Officer with a copy to Student Conduct and Community Standards; an academic integrity advocate is available to the student through investigation, resolution, and appeal; referred cases resolve through a disciplinary conference or a formal hearing before a university hearing board; and the appeal process, including its grounds and who may appeal, is set out under the Appeals heading of the Code of Conduct's process article (Article IV). What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page

2026-08-21 — Page created. Captured first-party this date: the provost committee's GenAI reporting guidance PDF (all quotations above) and the FCPE instructional-tools page. The Academic Integrity policy, Code of Conduct, and conduct-process pages were located and summarized but not captured as full text; the process description in section 02 was verified against those pages by manual read on 2026-08-22; archive capture still to be added. Adelphi is a private institution: this page quotes brief excerpts and links originals; it republishes nothing in full. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter. Internet Archive captures: to be added.

2026-08-23 — Searched adelphi.edu for an ombuds or student-advocacy office; none located. An Office of Community Concerns and Resolution appears in search results as a complaint-intake office rather than a student advocate, and was not verified first-party in this pass; 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: no ombuds office exists at Adelphi. The nearest published equivalent is the Office of Community Concerns and Resolution, created in August 2021 as a single intake point for non-emergency complaints, with harassment, discrimination, and sexual misconduct named among its subjects. Adelphi does not describe it as an ombuds, as confidential, or as independent, and it is recorded here on those terms rather than as an equivalent. The office page could not be fetched from this environment this date; the address and number are reproduced from Adelphi's own indexed pages and from the site owner, and warrant confirmation by direct capture on the next review.

2026-08-23 — Section 02 now opens with the two questions an adviser raises first. Who may be present. The Academic Integrity policy was fetched this date and its academic-integrity-advocate sentence quoted; the Code of Conduct PDF was read for the advisor-of-choice and hearing-recording provisions, and the policy’s own scope sentence is quoted alongside them, because those Code provisions reach academic-integrity matters only on referral to Student Conduct and Community Standards. Adelphi’s conduct-process page reproduces the New York Students’ Bill of Rights with no scope statement of its own; in New York that list derives from Education Law Article 129-B, so its adviser item was deliberately not used. What follows on the record. The Code of Conduct supplies both the expulsion notation and the seven-year retention rule. Two things are recorded here rather than resolved: the Code’s filename reads 08.26.2025 while its own running footer reads “effective August 1, 2026”; and Adelphi’s about-the-process page publishes a heading “Appropriate Transcript Notation (if applicable)” whose body text reads only “To come,” so the Code is cited instead. Nothing stating whether a finding is disclosed to graduate programs, employers, or licensing boards was located; the Code defers to FERPA. Automated pass; no human review is claimed for this entry.

2026-08-23 (later pass) — Full source re-verification, with two corrections. Re-fetched and compared this date, unchanged with quotations verbatim: the provost committee's GenAI reporting guidance PDF (all six excerpts and the corroborating-features list verbatim), the Academic Integrity policy (still modified Jun 3, 2026, Last Revised Date still March 1, 2026; advocate sentence and SCCS scope sentence verbatim; its plagiarism definition states "Materials generated by many AI tools may fall under this heading"), the Code of Conduct PDF (all four section-02 quotations verbatim; running footer confirmed "effective August 1, 2026"), the FCPE instructional-tools page (still modified May 7, 2026; Turnitin-in-Moodle unchanged), and the conduct office's Academic Dishonesty page (still modified Feb 6, 2024; conference-or-hearing description unchanged). Correction one: section 02 and the source map previously placed the appeal process at "Section 27" of the Code; the current Code contains no Section 27 — it is organized in Articles, and its appeal provisions, including who may appeal and the grounds, sit under the Appeals heading of Article IV. Both references corrected. Correction two: the Office of Community Concerns and Resolution page was captured directly this date (page modified Aug 11, 2026), resolving the earlier note that its details warranted direct capture: the docket quotation is corrected to the page's own wording, "a single office for community members to file a non-emergency complaint or concern," and the office's published location, Levermore Hall 106, is added; email and phone confirmed as published. 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.

2026-08-30 — Sources re-fetched and compared this date; automated pass, not a human review. Unchanged, quotations verbatim: the provost committee's GenAI reporting guidance PDF (section-01 excerpts and all three section-02 quotations verbatim), the Academic Integrity policy (still modified Jun 3, 2026), the FCPE instructional-technology-tools page (still modified May 7, 2026; Turnitin-in-Moodle unchanged), the Code of Conduct PDF (all four section-02 quotations verbatim; running footer still "effective August 1, 2026"), and the Office of Community Concerns and Resolution page (still modified Aug 11, 2026; the docket quotation, Levermore Hall 106, email and phone all verbatim). The two conduct-process summary pages (Academic Dishonesty; About the Process) were not re-fetched this pass; they carry no unique quotation and were confirmed unchanged on Aug 23. Detection-inventory sweep re-run: only Turnitin's GenAI detector is documented as an AI-text detector; Respondus appears on the FCPE page as a lockdown/proctoring tool, not a text detector; no additional detector found. Internet Archive captures still could not be requested — the Save Page Now endpoint is unreachable from this run environment (URL on the environment's fetch blocklist); captures remain to be added.

2026-08-30 (later pass) — One further Internet Archive capture 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. This capture resolves the source left uncaptured by the earlier pass today. Capture added: FCPE instructional technology tools → https://web.archive.org/web/20260830123556/https://www.adelphi.edu/fcpe/resources/educational-technology/instructional-technology-tools/. No source on this page failed capture in this pass.

2026-09-13 — Editorial review. Carrie Schluter read this page in full against its recorded first-party sources and found no change required. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-13).

2026-09-15 — Sources re-captured and mechanically re-verified this date; automated pass, not a human review. All quotations trace unchanged against the fresh capture; several sources carry somewhat less whitespace-collapsed text than the prior capture (page-template movement, not a quotation change). No quotation, contact, date, finding or link above was changed by it.

2026-10-04 — Sources re-captured and mechanically re-verified this date; automated pass, not a human review. All quotations trace unchanged against the fresh capture; sources 1, 2 and 9 carry somewhat less whitespace-collapsed text than the prior capture (page-template movement, not a quotation change). No quotation, contact, date, finding or link above was changed by it.
