UC Davis.
UC Davis's published sources on AI, academic integrity, and the conduct process, quoted and linked below. The Code of Academic Conduct is the governing text; misconduct cases run through Student Conduct and Integrity (formerly part of OSSJA); and AI-use rules are set at the course level, so the syllabus matters. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which governs any case; confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.
What is documented — and what isn't
Turnitin is available as an originality-checking integration in UC Davis Canvas (Canvas Help, page last updated Mar 10, 2021; retrieved Aug 21, 2026); that page describes similarity reporting and does not address the AI-writing indicator. No campus-wide statement enabling or disabling Turnitin's AI detection was located in this review — which itself is worth knowing: third-party trackers describe AI detection at UC Davis as available at instructor discretion, and that characterization is unverified here. On AI use itself, the IET guidance is current and explicit (page modified Jul 20, 2026):
Sources: Turnitin — Canvas Help · AI Guidance — UC Davis IET. Course-level rules govern; the syllabus and assignment instructions are primary sources for any particular situation.
What UC Davis's own pages say about how cases proceed
From Student Conduct and Integrity's description of the referral process (page modified Mar 10, 2026; retrieved Aug 21, 2026) — instructor-facing, quoted because it describes the process a student experiences:
The same page describes the sequence: report submitted through studentconduct.ucdavis.edu; the student is directed to schedule a meeting, hears the report explained, and responds; a temporary "Y" grade holds the course grade open if the quarter ends first; and after a hearing, the Director's decision letter "describes any appeal rights." A separate page covers advisors in the conduct process — students may be accompanied by an advisor of their choice. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page
2026-08-21 — Page created. Captured first-party this date: the Student Conduct and Integrity referral-process page (modified Mar 10, 2026), the IET AI guidance (modified Jul 20, 2026), and the Canvas Help Turnitin page (last updated Mar 10, 2021 — dated; re-check on next pass). Not established: any campus-wide statement on Turnitin's AI-writing indicator; the section above says so rather than asserting either way. The advisor description and any filing-window details are paraphrase pending verification against the linked pages. Reviewer: [named human reviewer before publication]. Internet Archive captures: to be added.
