Reproduced from the institution's own pages quoted below — potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case.
TAMU-CC'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 — course syllabi and department rules may also apply, and TAMU-CC's own procedure places disciplinary responsibility for academic misconduct first with the individual faculty member. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.
Turnitin is deployed; its AI-detection feature is offered to instructors as a beta
TAMU-CC's Digital Learning and Academic Innovations (DLAI) office describes Turnitin as deployed campus-wide in Canvas (retrieved Oct 10, 2026, no page-stated date):
Source: Turnitin — Digital Learning and Academic Innovations. That page describes similarity/plagiarism checking only and does not itself mention an AI-writing feature.
DLAI's separate "Teach" page, under a "Detection Tools" heading, is the only first-party page naming Turnitin's AI-writing capability (retrieved Oct 10, 2026, no page-stated date):
Source: Teach — Artificial Intelligence, Digital Learning and Academic Innovations. This is instructor-facing teaching guidance encouraging exploration of a named beta feature within TAMU-CC's own licensed Turnitin instance; it is not a formal institutional statement on whether, or how, a detection score may be used as evidence in the academic-misconduct process described in section 02, and no such statement was located elsewhere on tamucc.edu. The Student Academic Misconduct procedure (13.02.99.C0.04, revised May 4, 2026) does not name Turnitin, AI detection, or any detection tool anywhere in its text.
A named-vendor sweep (SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) found no other AI-writing detector. DLAI's resource sidebar separately lists Grammarly for Education, Honorlock, and Respondus LockDown Browser/Monitor; Honorlock and Respondus are exam-proctoring tools with no AI-writing-detection claim and are recorded here only for completeness.
What TAMU-CC's own pages say about how cases proceed
- Who may be present
- "All parties to the hearing may be accompanied by another person in an advisory capacity only and who may not speak on behalf of the involved parties. Such person may not participate directly in the hearing." Recording is not addressed anywhere in the procedure reviewed. — 13.02.99.C0.04, Student Academic Misconduct (Revised May 4, 2026) · 13.02.99.C0.04 — Student Academic Misconduct
- What follows on the record
- "Student Conduct & Advocacy will maintain records of such reported incidents for a period of five (5) years after the student's last enrollment date." No transcript-notation or external-disclosure provision is stated in the procedure reviewed. — 13.02.99.C0.04 (Revised May 4, 2026) · 13.02.99.C0.04 — Student Academic Misconduct
The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.
From 13.02.99.C0.04, Student Academic Misconduct (Revised May 4, 2026; Next Scheduled Review May 4, 2031; retrieved Oct 10, 2026), on how a case begins and is decided:
An Academic Integrity Hearing Panel (AIHP) of faculty and student members, drawn from a standing Academic Integrity Pool, hears any case where the student disputes the charge, where a student with a prior record accepts a sanction, or where the faculty member recommends a severe sanction. A quorum is "two (2) faculty members, including the chair, and one (1) student member." Appeal lies to the Office of the Provost: "Any such appeal must be made in writing to the Office of the Provost within five (5) business days from the date the AIHP's decision was sent to the student and faculty member," confined to procedural error, new facts, or a disproportionate sanction, with the Provost's office deciding "within fifteen (15) business days upon receipt of the appeal. This decision will be final." Source: 13.02.99.C0.04 — Student Academic Misconduct. What these quotations mean for any particular case is for the institution and its process to determine; they are reproduced so you can read the originals in context.

Revision history of this page
2026-10-10 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the tamucc.edu pages linked beside them; 13.02.99.C0.04 carries its own "Revised: May 4, 2026" date, and the DLAI Turnitin and Teach pages display no on-page date. 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) confirmed Turnitin deployed in Canvas (plagiarism/similarity) and, separately, an AI-detection feature in beta that the Teach page's "Detection Tools" accordion invites instructors to explore; no other detector was found. Category sweep covered the Academic Integrity Pool governance page, the Student Conduct & Advocacy site (Academic Misconduct, Incident Reporting Forms, How to Fill Out an Academic Misconduct Incident Form), and a search for "ombuds"/"ombudsperson," which surfaced only TAMU-CC's own Faculty Ombuds (scoped to faculty and librarians) and a same-named but separate "Undergraduate Ombuds" office at us.tamu.edu — Texas A&M University's College Station campus, a different institution, not used here. Deliberately not used: the graduate catalog's "General Academic Policies and Regulations" page, which restates the same five-year record-retention language already captured first-party from 13.02.99.C0.04 and was not separately fetched. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-10).
