- Detection status
- No AI-text detector is named as deployed, disabled, or recommended against on any indianastate.edu or indstate.edu page located in this review. The Code of Student Conduct's Academic Integrity Misconduct definitions name no detector; one computer-science department's own (draft, unapproved as of Aug 6, 2025) course policies tell instructors to hold exams in person and "consider quick follow-ups" instead, which is a department-level process practice, not an institutional detector.

Reproduced from the institution's own pages quoted below — potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case.
ISU'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 — the Code itself points to a separate Faculty Guide to Academic Integrity and Student Guide to Academic Integrity for examples, and individual departments or syllabi may add their own terms, so your course syllabus is also a relevant source. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.
No AI-text detector is documented at ISU
A named-vendor sweep (Turnitin and its AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep (the Policy Library, the Office of Student Support and Accountability's own pages, and the Code of Student Conduct) across indianastate.edu and indstate.edu found no AI-text detector documented.
The 410 Code of Student Conduct (Last Updated and Last Reviewed: June 27, 2025; retrieved Oct 16, 2026) defines academic misconduct without naming a detector:
Source: 410 Code of Student Conduct (PDF), Section 2.1. The Code adds: "Examples of each policy can be found in the Faculty Guide to Academic Integrity as well as the Student Guide to Academic Integrity." This review located neither guide as an independently published page and names the gap rather than guessing at their content.
One computer-science department's own course-policy page (dated, by its own text, as a draft awaiting CS faculty approval as of Aug 6, 2025; retrieved Oct 16, 2026) tells instructors to address AI directly in class and in the syllabus, and to keep exams secure with in-person, pen-and-paper administration where possible, "and consider quick follow-ups (like asking a few students to explain their answers)" rather than relying on a detector. It also directs an instructor who discovers AI misuse to assign an F and "[s]ubmit an academic misconduct form." Source: Policies — Computer Science at Indiana State University. This is one department's own draft practice, not an institution-wide policy, and is recorded here at that scope rather than generalized to the University.
Process-based verification: beyond the computer-science department page above, a bounded first-party sweep of the Policy Library, the SSA office pages, and the Code itself, plus one site search for institution-wide guidance on verifying authorship by process, found nothing published at the institutional level. The absence is recorded at this scope.
What the Code of Student Conduct says about how academic-misconduct cases proceed
- Who may be present
- "All involved students have the right to a University Conduct Advisor. ... This person may not address the hearing officer or hearing board or ask questions of any witnesses." On recording: "There shall be a single verbatim record, such as an audio recording, of all University Conduct Board (UCB) Hearings. ... No other recording shall be made. ... Recording these processes without permission may constitute a violation of the Code."
- What follows on the record
- Not stated for a sanction short of suspension or expulsion. The Code states: "Temporary Separation (Suspension) involves removal of the student from the University for a definite period of time (minimum of one semester), after which the student is eligible to return, and a permanent notation on one's transcript," and that "Permanent Separation (Expulsion)" likewise carries "a permanent notation ... on one's transcript."
The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.
The Code's academic-misconduct provision is short, and it works by cross-reference rather than by repeating the general process:
Section 4.3's "Standard of Proof" is defined centrally: "The Standard of Proof is 'more likely than not' that University policy has been violated (also referred to as preponderance of the evidence)." Its "Student Conduct Procedural Rights" include the right to "choose whether to attend or not attend any conduct process," access to a University Conduct Advisor, and the right to "review, not receive copies of, all relevant information regarding their conduct case in order to prepare a defense." Source: 410 Code of Student Conduct (PDF), Sections 4.3 and 4.6.
Appeals of a responsible finding, academic or otherwise, follow Section 7: "An appeal from any decision ... must be made in writing within five business days following the date the hearing record notification is assigned." The appeal letter must specify one of two stated grounds — "Student's/student organization's rights were violated as a result of failure of due process" or "Significant new evidence is available that could change the outcome" — and goes to the Office of the Dean of Students, whose review is final: "The appeal decision is final." Source: 410 Code of Student Conduct (PDF), Section 7. What these quotations mean for any particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page
2026-10-16 — Page created. Cold build; no prior CANDIDATES.md or procedure-facts.json research to reuse. SLUG NOTE: "isu" was already claimed by Idaho State University (built 2026-09-27, that page's own note anticipated this collision); "indstate" used instead. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin and its AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and category sweep (the Policy Library's full table of contents across all nine chapters, the SSA office pages, and the Code of Student Conduct) across indianastate.edu and indstate.edu found NO AI-TEXT DETECTOR DOCUMENTED anywhere at the institutional level. NOT A DISQUALIFICATION: an empty inventory, not a documented disabling or recommendation against a detector. DEPARTMENT-LEVEL FINDING SCOPED, NOT GENERALIZED: the CS department's own course-policy wiki page states it is a draft awaiting CS faculty approval as of Aug 6, 2025, and directs instructors toward in-person exams and oral follow-up questions rather than a detector; recorded at that department scope only, and not carried into the institutional status line. PROCESS-BASED VERIFICATION SWEEP: none published at the institutional level at the bounded scope searched. OFFICE NAME HISTORY, NOT CHASED FURTHER: older cached documents and some syllabi refer to the office as "Student Judicial Programs" or "Student Conduct and Integrity (SCI)"; the current Code (dated June 27, 2025) and the office's own current page both use "Office of Student Support and Accountability (SSA)," which is what this page uses throughout. PROCESS: the Code's academic-misconduct provision (Section 4.6) is a short bridge sentence rather than its own procedure — it extends Section 4.3's general rights and "the same standard of proof" (preponderance, defined in 4.3.11) to academic cases by name. RECORDING ADDRESSED PRECISELY: a single verbatim record of University Conduct Board hearings only, deliberations excluded, no other recording permitted without staff involvement. RECORD: transcript notation stated only for suspension (minimum one semester) and expulsion; nothing is stated for a lesser sanction. REFERENCED BUT NOT LOCATED: the Code's own "Faculty Guide to Academic Integrity" and "Student Guide to Academic Integrity," cited in Section 2.1 for policy examples, were not found as independently published, reachable pages in this review; the gap is named rather than guessed at. OMBUDS/ADVOCACY CHECKED AND NOT FOUND: no office titled ombudsperson, ombudsman, or student advocate was located; an "Accessibility and Advocacy Resource Office" link surfaced among SSA's listed campus resources but was not opened or characterized here, since its name signals disability-services scope rather than a general conduct-case advocate, and this page does not substitute it without reading its own page first — left as a gap rather than a guess. OFFICE: Office of Student Support and Accountability, Hulman Memorial Student Union Room 821, 550 Chestnut Street, Terre Haute, IN 47809, 812-237-3800, ISU-SSA@indstate.edu — all from the office's own current page. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Traces to tools/packets/indstate-packet.txt with zero failures. Gated in tools/fidelity-gate.txt.
