Stan State'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 — Stan State's own guidance tells instructors to set their own rules for AI use by assignment, and the systemwide CSU Student Conduct Process (Executive Order 1098) governs once a matter reaches the Dean of Students. 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 Stan State

The Office of Academic Technology's Canvas how-to page states (page dated Sep 10, 2026; retrieved Oct 5, 2026):

"Stan State provides access to Turnitin's A.I. Detector tool for all instructors." "In addition to tracking similarity in student submissions, Turnitin can be used to screen submissions for the presence of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT). For submissions longer than 300 words, Turnitin will analyze the writing of the document and highlight areas that it believes to have been written by AI. It then displays a percentage 'score' that represents the amount of writing in the submission that was AI-generated." "The report should be considered only a first screening and not proof, by itself, of misconduct. Misconduct depends on violations of explicit campus and course policies." "Submissions below 750-800 words have a higher tendency to be mistakenly flagged as AI-generated when they are human writing. The AI report cannot determine which tool was used to construct the flagged prose (ChatGPT, Grammarly, etc.)."

For basic plagiarism checking, the same page states, "all reviewing, annotation, and grading occurs within SpeedGrader," where the instructor's steps include "[o]pen the originality report for the submission by clicking the colored originality score icon." A separate section of the page, "Student Viewing of Turnitin Feedback," tells a student using the GradeMark toolset to locate the assignment in Grades, then: "Click the colored icon on the far right of the row to open the Turnitin interface." Neither this nor any other page located states whether a student can view the AI score itself, as distinct from Turnitin's similarity report and GradeMark comments. Source: Canvas How-To: Turnitin Assignments — Office of Academic Technology.

The same office's separate instructor guidance, "Academic Integrity in Canvas" (page dated Mar 27, 2026; retrieved Oct 5, 2026), adds that "Turnitin's AI detector reliably detects AI writing" but "cannot tell instructors anything about what tool was used to generate the AI writing" or "what the student's intent was in using such a tool," and that "the AI report often underreports AI writing in order to 'do no harm' and reduce false positives" — meaning, the page states, "Turnitin is highly confident that any reported AI writing is correctly flagged." The page sets out instructor-configurable "Levels of Allowable AI Use" and names a second, pilot pathway: Turnitin Clarity, described on the how-to page as a "campus-wide pilot" for "the Fall 2026 semester," whose writing report to instructors includes "insights into the student's writing process" together with "Turnitin's existing similarity score and A.I. writing score." Sources: Academic Integrity in Canvas; Canvas How-To: Turnitin Assignments. Your syllabus and assignment instructions are therefore among the relevant sources for your own situation.

A named-vendor sweep of csustan.edu (Turnitin, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep of the university's AI-services pages (AI Task Force, AI Services for Students, ChatGPT Edu) found no AI-text detector named other than Turnitin. The Academic Integrity in Canvas page also lists Respondus Lockdown Browser as an option for controlling the writing environment during an assessment; it is a lockdown/proctoring tool, not a text detector, and is recorded here for completeness rather than as AI-writing detection.

02Published procedure

What Stan State's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present: Not stated on Stan State's own Student Conduct Process page. The systemwide CSU Student Conduct Process gives notice of "the Student's right to be accompanied at the conference by an Advisor," and states: "[t]he conference shall not be recorded." At a formal hearing it adds: "[t]he Hearing Officer shall make an official audio recording of the hearing … The recording is University Property. No other recording of the hearing is permitted." — CSU Executive Order 1098 (revision effective Oct 6, 2023; retrieved Oct 5, 2026) · Executive Order 1098 (PDF)
What follows on the record: Not stated on Stan State's own pages beyond a hold that may be placed on "registration, transcripts, and graduation" when a student misses a scheduled conference or hearing. Executive Order 1098 states, systemwide: "Suspension of one academic year or more, expulsion, withdrawal in lieu of suspension or expulsion, and withdrawals with pending misconduct investigations or disciplinary proceedings shall be entered on the Student's transcript permanently, without exception; this requirement shall not be waived in connection with any resolution agreement." · Executive Order 1098 (PDF)

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

Stan State's Student Conduct Process page (Dean of Students; page dated Aug 4, 2026; retrieved Oct 5, 2026) states:

"When Student Conduct receives a report documenting an alleged violation, an investigation is initiated and the student who is the subject of the report is notified." "Most student misconduct cases are resolved through an informal process involving a signed agreement. The purpose of the initial conference is to give students an opportunity to review the allegations, understand the supporting information and provide a response." "Students who do not respond to a conference request forfeit their chance to participate in that meeting. Additionally, holds may be placed on registration, transcripts, and graduation." "During a formal hearing, a hearing officer meticulously reviews all evidence and testimonies presented regarding the alleged violation. Subsequently, the hearing officer forwards a recommendation based on the findings to the Vice President for Student Affairs who ultimately decides on the imposition of a University finding and sanction(s) in accordance with the institution's policies and procedures."

No evidentiary standard (such as preponderance) is stated on this page. The page directs students to "familiarize themselves with CSU Executive Order 1098 to understand their rights and responsibilities," and Executive Order 1098 — whose Article II expressly covers "Cases Involving Academic Dishonesty" — states the standard a Hearing Officer applies: "the University's charge is sustained by a Preponderance of the Evidence. It is the University's burden to show that it is 'more likely than not' that the Student violated the Student Conduct Code." Source: Executive Order 1098 (PDF) (revision effective Oct 6, 2023; official copy lives on calstate.policystat.com, which returned nothing to a plain fetch, so a CSU-campus-hosted copy was read instead; retrieved Oct 5, 2026).

Classroom-level academic dishonesty is handled separately in the first instance. The College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences' own Policy on Plagiarism, published on the English department's pages (approved Apr 6, 2005; updated Dec 18, 2024; retrieved Oct 5, 2026), states: "Normally, the penalty for plagiarism is a failure in the course. More serious penalties may also be invoked," and directs instructors to submit the "Student Discipline: Academic Dishonesty Incident Report Form to the Coordinator of Student Discipline for tracking or for disciplinary investigation." Executive Order 1098 describes this same step systemwide: "Academic dishonesty cases that occur in the classroom shall be handled by faculty members according to applicable Campus procedures. After action has been taken in any such case, the faculty member shall promptly notify the vice president for Student Affairs (or designee) and the Student Conduct Administrator of the matter." The college policy's "Coordinator of Student Discipline" and the university process's "Student Conduct Administrator" are reproduced as each source names the role, without reconciling the titles.

Revision history of this page

2026-10-05 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the csustan.edu pages and the CSU-Chico–hosted copy of Executive Order 1098 linked beside them; source pages carried their own dates of Sep 10, 2026 (Canvas How-To: Turnitin Assignments), Mar 27, 2026 (Academic Integrity in Canvas), Aug 4, 2026 (Student Conduct Process), Apr 7, 2026 (Resources, Forms, & Publications), Apr 8, 2026 (Statement of Student's Rights and Responsibilities), and Dec 18, 2024 / approved Apr 6, 2005 (Policy on Plagiarism, College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences). Detection status is confirmed first-party and affirmative: the Office of Academic Technology states plainly that "Stan State provides access to Turnitin's A.I. Detector tool for all instructors," campus-wide, with a stated caution that a report is "only a first screening and not proof, by itself, of misconduct" — a reliance caution, not a disabling, so this is not a step-2 disqualification. 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 (AI Task Force, AI Services for Students, ChatGPT Edu, the Office of Academic Technology's own pages) found no second AI-text detector; Respondus Lockdown Browser appears only as a writing-environment lockdown option, not a text detector. Ombuds/advocacy sweep (ombuds, ombudsperson, student advocacy, dean of students advocacy) found no office on csustan.edu; the direct /ombuds address returns HTTP 404. No first-party page located stating who may accompany a student, or whether recording is permitted, at the campus-level informal conference or formal hearing described on the Student Conduct Process page; both questions are answered instead from the systemwide CSU Student Conduct Process (Executive Order 1098), read from a CSU Chico–hosted PDF because the official calstate.policystat.com copy returns nothing to a plain fetch — the same capture method used on this site's other CSU pages. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING, recorded rather than resolved: the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences' Policy on Plagiarism directs instructors to a "Coordinator of Student Discipline," a title the university's own Student Conduct Process page and Executive Order 1098 do not use, naming a "Student Conduct Administrator" instead; both are reproduced as published. The Policy on Plagiarism is hosted on the English department's pages and headed "College of the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences" — read and cited as a college-level policy, not a university-wide one, because no broader attribution is stated on its own page. No evidentiary standard is stated on any Stan State–hosted page reviewed; Executive Order 1098 supplies it. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-05).
