- Detection status
- CSU's own "Academic Integrity Resources" page names Turnitin, Winston AI and AI Detector Pro under an "AI/Plagiarism Detection Tools" heading, as a bare list with no statement of which are licensed, deployed, or enabled; Turnitin's own CSU resource page describes similarity/plagiarism checking only

Three tools named, deployment not stated
CSU's Office of Community Standards and Advocacy publishes an "Academic Integrity Resources" page (no page date; retrieved Oct 2, 2026) containing this complete, unexplained list under its own heading:
Source: Academic Integrity Resources — Community Standards and Advocacy. The three names appear as a bare, unlinked bullet list with no surrounding sentence stating whether CSU licenses, enables, or merely cites these tools as examples; nothing on the page distinguishes a deployed institutional tool from an illustrative one. Read here as named, not confirmed deployed.
Separately, CSU's Center for eLearning describes Turnitin without naming an AI-writing feature (no page date; retrieved Oct 2, 2026):
Source: Turnitin — Center for eLearning. Category sweep: the Writing Center's Academic Integrity page frames AI use as a citation and integrity question rather than a detection one; a Library Workshop Series the Academic Integrity Resources page itself links includes sessions titled "Using AI for Research" and "Writing Better Generative AI Prompts," which are instructional, not detection tools. Searches of CSU's academic-integrity, student-conduct, eLearning and library pages found no other named AI-text detector (GPTZero, Copyleaks, Originality.ai, SimCheck, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity, iThenticate) beyond the three named above.
What CSU's own pages say about how cases proceed
- Who may be present
- "Support Person – An individual invited by the Respondent to be present during any portion of the academic misconduct process including investigatory meetings and hearings. […] A Support Person is allowed to offer guidance to the Respondent, but not to actively participate in the process. A Support Person is not allowed to address other parties involved in the process directly." On recording, for the Academic Misconduct Review Committee hearing specifically: "The meeting will not be recorded." — Procedures for Charges of Academic Misconduct, Office of the Provost (Faculty Senate approved Apr 28, 2021; retrieved Oct 2, 2026) · Procedures for Charges of Academic Misconduct
- What follows on the record
- "If the Charge is a Major Infraction or Program Infraction, the Registrar shall make an entry on the Respondent's academic transcript that the Respondent has been disciplined for academic misconduct. […] The notation of academic misconduct shall remain on the Respondent's academic transcript until graduation. Upon graduation, the notation will be removed. The notation will be permanent if the sanction is suspension or expulsion." — same source (Apr 28, 2021)
The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.
From the Procedures for Charges of Academic Misconduct (Office of the Provost, Faculty Senate approved Apr 28, 2021; retrieved Oct 2, 2026) — the current document CSU's own "Academic Misconduct Policies and Procedures" page links for process questions, used here in preference to the separate, older 2014 Policy on Academic Misconduct for process steps the two documents state differently (infraction levels, appeal windows):

Revision history of this page
2026-10-02 — Page created. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and category sweep (the Center for eLearning, the Academic Integrity Resources page, the Writing Center, and the Library Workshop Series listing) found CSU's own "Academic Integrity Resources" page naming "TurnItIn," "Winston AI" and "AI Detector Pro" under an "AI/Plagiarism Detection Tools" heading, as a bare bulleted list with no surrounding text stating deployment, licensing, or enablement status — read here as named, not confirmed deployed, the same treatment the skill gives a tool "listed merely as an external option." NOT DISQUALIFIED: named, not disabled or recommended against. TWO-DOCUMENT CARE TAKEN BEFORE DRAFTING (same class of trap as njit and fsc, same day): CSU's current "Academic Misconduct Policies and Procedures" page links two separate PDFs — a 2014 "Policy on Academic Misconduct" (3344-21-02, Minor/Major infractions only, a twenty-day review-committee petition window) and a 2021 Faculty-Senate-approved "Procedures for Charges of Academic Misconduct" (adds a Program Infraction level, a Support Person role, an explicit "The meeting will not be recorded" statement, and five-University-business-day windows at every appeal stage). Both were read in full before drafting section 02, which uses the 2021 Procedures document for every process fact the two state differently; the 2014 Policy is listed in the source map for its original misconduct definitions (cheating, plagiarism, tampering) but not quoted for process steps. OMBUDS/ADVOCACY: a University Ombudsperson (Office of the Provost) is confirmed first-party as serving "[a]ll members of the Cleveland State University community" with explicit confidentiality language, distinct from the Office of Community Standards and Advocacy that administers the misconduct process itself — used as this page's ombuds entry, unlike the pattern at several other pages in this collection where a same-named office turned out to be scoped to faculty/staff only or housed inside the conduct office. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Traces to tools/packets/csuohio-packet.txt with zero failures; gated in tools/fidelity-gate.txt. Archive captures pending — not requested this pass (unattended scheduled run). Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-02).
