What CSU Global's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

Not stated in the sources reviewed: no CSU Global page names an advisor, attorney, or support person for a disciplinary hearing. What is stated: "[i]f a Code of Conduct Hearing is initiated... [t]he student will be invited to attend the hearing or provide a statement for the Panel to review." Recording of a hearing is not addressed in the sources reviewed. — Violations of Student Code of Conduct — CSU Global Appeals Center

What follows on the record

Sanctions are stated to run "including, but not limited to... [p]ermanent expulsion and/or degree revocation with permanent mark on transcript." Separately, CSU Global's Student Rights Policies document states more broadly that "[a]ny findings and official plagiarism offenses will be documented in the student's academic record" — not itself specified as a transcript notation short of expulsion or degree revocation. — Violations of Student Code of Conduct · Student Rights Policies

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

CSU Global's Student Rights Policies (no on-page revision date displayed; retrieved Oct 17, 2026) state that "[i]f a student is suspected of academic dishonesty, the instructor will inform the Office of Student Affairs or their designee prior to imposing an academic penalty," which "may include grading the work as is, resubmitting work or earning a failing grade." Beyond any academic penalty, "a report of the infraction must be submitted to the Provost, who may initiate additional disciplinary action," following the same Hearing and Appeal Process as other Student Conduct Code violations. That process uses "the preponderance of the evidence standard," and students found responsible "may be subject to disciplinary sanctions including, but not limited to: warning, loss of credit, disciplinary probation, suspension, permanent expulsion and/or degree revocation with permanent mark on transcript." Source: Student Rights Policies.

The Appeals Center's Violations of Student Code of Conduct page (retrieved Oct 17, 2026) describes the hearing itself: "[i]f a Code of Conduct Hearing is initiated, Student Affairs will set a meeting of the Disciplinary Panel," which gathers "all necessary information and documentation," provides it to the student, and invites the student "to attend the hearing or provide a statement for the Panel to review." "Student Affairs will send the Panel's recommendation for the Provost for approval" and then "notify the student of the outcome." A student may appeal "by submitting their request and documentation to the Provost within two (2) weeks of receipt of the decision for action," with a final decision due "[n]o later than three (3) weeks" after the Provost receives the appeal.

Revision history of this page

2026-10-17 — Page created. Priority A tranche 4, entry 269. Cold build (no prior CANDIDATES.md/procedure-facts research). All quotations retrieved this date. The Student Help Center's "Using the Similarity Report and Avoiding Plagiarism" article carries its own "Last Modified on 05/18/2026"; the Appeals Center pages (appeals.csuglobal.edu) display no on-page revision date; the Student Rights Policies page on csuglobal.edu displays no on-page revision date either. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin and its AI writing indicator specifically, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) found both Turnitin (named "TurnItIn" on the Appeals Center) and Copyleaks (named on the Student Help Center), each described as the vendor behind the same originality/similarity-report function; nothing reconciles the two names, and the page quotes both rather than picking one. VENDOR DIVERGENCE IS THE PRINCIPAL FINDING: the Appeals Center's "Plagiarism and AI" page is the only page located that connects a named vendor ("TurnItIn") to an AI-content report specifically ("a TurnItIn report that focuses on identifying possible AI content"); the Student Help Center's more recently updated page describes the same report mechanics (30% similarity threshold, draft/final submission workflow) under "CopyLeaks" without mentioning AI at all. Both pages are CSU Global's own, both are current (neither superseded nor archived), and neither was captured via an unreliable or stale transport. DISQUALIFICATION CHECK: no page recommends against using either tool or states AI detection has been disabled; the Appeals Center page actively describes the AI-report workflow as in use. Not disqualified. CORROBORATION: the Student Rights Policies document's "probability of AI-generated content" clause, among four grading factors, is consistent with an AI-content signal being evaluated regardless of which vendor currently supplies it, and is quoted as corroboration rather than as its own detector finding. PROCESS-VERIFICATION SWEEP: the same pages, plus one additional site search, found nothing beyond the instructor-review step ("the instructor will review the work") already quoted in section 01; none-published at the scope searched. PROCESS: the Academic Dishonesty escalation (instructor-level penalty with Office of Student Affairs notified first, preponderance standard, warning through suspension/expulsion/degree revocation, Provost appeal within two weeks and a decision within three) is drawn from the Student Rights Policies document and the Appeals Center's "Violations of Student Code of Conduct" page, which are consistent with each other on sanctions and the "permanent mark on transcript" language. ACCOMPANIMENT: no advisor, attorney, or support-person right is stated anywhere in the sources reviewed; the hearing process names only the student's own attendance or a written statement. RECORDING: not addressed for a disciplinary hearing in any source reviewed; a separate, unrelated policy addresses recording of live classroom sessions and is not used here. OFFICE: Office of Student Affairs, 555 17th St., Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80202, student.affairs@csuglobal.edu, (866) 734-5890 — all confirmed on the Appeals Center's own Contact Us page; no academic-integrity-specific sub-office is separately published. OMBUDS/ADVOCACY: searched csuglobal.edu and csuglobalhelp.knowledgeowl.com for "ombudsperson," "ombudsman," and "student advocate"; found only "Student Success Counselor," a general advising role named repeatedly as a contact point but never described as independent, confidential, or neutral, so it is not presented here as an ombuds or advocacy office. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-17).
