UB's published sources on AI detection and academic integrity, quoted and linked below. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case — course syllabi and department rules may also apply, and UB itself notes that instructors set their own AI rules. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.

01Detection status

AI detection is in use at UB

UB's Office of Academic Integrity states (page dated Oct 17, 2025; retrieved Aug 21, 2026):

"UB has an enterprise-wide subscription to Turnitin to help protect integrity in student work. Turnitin has one tool for plagiarism detection and one tool for AI detection. These can be turned on for assignments (not quizzes or other assessment modes) collected in the UB Learns platform." "Like any 'evidence,' these scores are just a starting point. […] While Turnitin has a high reliability rating for AI detection, this is also just a starting point in an instructor's review of work. Any suspected dishonesty must proceed through the consultative resolution process."

Source: Plagiarism and AI-Detection Tools for Assignments — Office of Academic Integrity. UB's teaching center also runs Turnitin AI Indicator workshops for instructors: Turnitin Support — CATT (page dated Dec 3, 2025; retrieved Aug 21, 2026).

On AI-use rules themselves, UB's instructor guidance states there is no universal UB policy about student use of AI tools; instructors set course-level rules. Source: Artificial Intelligence Guidance — Office of Academic Integrity (retrieved Aug 21, 2026). Your syllabus and assignment instructions are therefore among the relevant sources for your own situation.

02Published procedure

What UB's own pages say about how cases proceed

From the Office of Academic Integrity's Consultative Resolution Meeting Guidelines (page dated Nov 19, 2025; retrieved Aug 21, 2026) — instructor-facing, and quoted here because it describes the process a student experiences:

"You must contact the student within 10 academic days of discovering the suspected dishonesty." "Offer the student an opportunity to have a department note-taker […] present or to record the meeting." "If the student has questions about the violation, they have a right to know what it is you've found, otherwise they can't respond to it appropriately." "UB's procedures are based on a standard of 'preponderance,' meaning 'more likely than not.'" "Within 10 academic days of the meeting, submit an incident report and send a letter (through UB email) to the student that details the charge and the sanction. The letter should also refer them to the academic integrity policy and note their right to appeal."
