What John Jay's and CUNY's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

"Students are encouraged to seek guidance from appropriate College resources and may consult with advisors, support offices, or other individuals as permitted under College policy." Where a case reaches a Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee hearing under CUNY Bylaws Article XV, the respondent has the right "to be assisted or represented by an advisor or legal counsel at their expense." — Academic Integrity Office FAQ (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Sep 24, 2026) and CUNY Bylaws Article XV §15.4(f)(2)(v) · Academic Integrity Office — John Jay College

What follows on the record

"For the most part, no. A transcript notation is a disciplinary sanction that may be considered in certain cases. However, the AI Office is required to keep records of all reported cases and their outcomes. If your case is closed, and does not rise to the level of disciplinary sanction, the record will remain confidential." — Academic Integrity Office FAQ, answering "Will a violation appear on my transcript? Will anyone else find out?" (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Sep 24, 2026) · Academic Integrity Office — John Jay College

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

John Jay's Academic Integrity Office publishes a detailed, six-step process overview as a flowchart, with a "[t]ext version of above flowchart" reproduced below (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Sep 24, 2026):

Quoting the CUNY policy language it implements, the same page states: "A faculty member who suspects that a student has committed a violation of the CUNY Academic Integrity Policy shall first review the facts and circumstances of the suspected violation with the student and provide a preliminary opportunity for the student to respond." Where a case instead proceeds to a Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee under CUNY Bylaws Article XV, that committee "bears the burden of proving the charge(s) by a preponderance of the evidence" (§15.4(p)(6)), and an appeal from its decision "shall be made in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after the delivery of the decision appealed from" (§15.4(p)(15)).

Revision history of this page

2026-09-24 — Page created by an automated build pass; no human review is claimed for this entry. First-party material captured this date from jjay.cuny.edu (Academic Integrity Office page; Filing Your Faculty Report PDF, filed under a 2023-10 path; Resources for Online Students), cuny.edu (Academic Integrity Policy PDF, rev. Jun 27, 2024; CUNY Office of Student Advocacy and Referral), policy.cuny.edu (Bylaws Article XV), commons.hostos.cuny.edu (a sister CUNY college's Brightspace Turnitin faculty guide, used only for its CUNY-systemwide licensing statement, as already established on this collection's Hunter, Baruch, Queens, City Tech and CCNY pages), and aitoolkit.commons.gc.cuny.edu (Teach@CUNY AI Toolkit). NOT THE FIRST CUNY BUILD: this page reuses the CUNY-systemwide Turnitin/AI-detection licensing fact already established on those five pages rather than re-deriving it, and independently confirmed it still holds via the Teach@CUNY AI Toolkit's separate recommendation against AI-detection software. NOT DISQUALIFIED: no detector was ever documented as in use for AI-writing detection specifically at John Jay or CUNY-wide; Turnitin and SafeAssign's plagiarism function remains actively documented. Detector sweep: 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 (Academic Integrity Office page, faculty reporting guides) found Turnitin and SafeAssign confirmed for plagiarism checking only. Two related, newer John Jay documents were located but not used for direct quotation in this pass: an Academic Integrity Committee (AIC) procedures memo dated Dec 2, 2025, describing the AIC as created in fall 2025 "as required by CUNY," and a process-flow diagram PDF; their content is consistent with, and appears already reflected in, the Academic Integrity Office page's own six-step process overview quoted above, so the live HTML page was used as the primary source rather than duplicating from the PDFs. OFFICE: the Academic Integrity Office page names Professor Helen Kapstein as Director of Academic Integrity and publishes only an email address (AcademicIntegrity@jjay.cuny.edu); no phone number or office location is published on that page, and none is used here. OMBUDS: no office titled ombudsperson was found on jjay.cuny.edu itself. John Jay's own Resources for Online Students page (scoped to SARA/online-program complaints) names the CUNY Office of Student Advocacy and Referral (COSAR) as the college's escalation path once internal procedures are exhausted; COSAR's own page states it "functions in an ombudsman role to resolve student complaints" in addition to serving as "a student advocate," without itself limiting that role to online students — recorded here as a CUNY-system-level office, parallel in kind to the Hostos Turnitin fact and to City Tech's earlier use of the same office in this collection, and quoted verbatim rather than characterized further. Record row: the FAQ's own "For the most part, no" answer on transcript notation is quoted in full rather than summarized, since the qualifying sentences that follow it are part of what a student would need to read. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Internet Archive captures pending — to be requested by a later capture pass. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-24).
