What UNH's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

Not stated for the standard instructor-led resolution under the Academic Integrity Policy. Where a case escalates to the University's conduct process under Article IV of the Code of Conduct (Academic Integrity Policy §VIII, for egregious or multiple violations), a Conduct Advisor may accompany the student but "may not testify in or obstruct an interview, author written submissions, create a recording or transcription of the meeting, bring electronic devices into the meeting, or disrupt the process." — Forums of Resolution and Procedures, Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities (Academic Year 2026-2027 Catalog; retrieved Sep 25, 2026) · Forums of Resolution and Procedures

What follows on the record

"If the final penalty is not determined by the time grades for the course are submitted, an NR (not resolved) can be used as a temporary hold and will appear on the student's academic transcript until the allegations are fully resolved and a final letter grade is entered." No permanent transcript notation for a formal academic penalty is stated; records "are maintained electronically by the Office of Community Standards in accordance with the Schedule for Record Retention and Disposal as described in Article IV of the Code of Conduct." — Academic Integrity Policy, §§ VII & X (retrieved Sep 25, 2026) · Academic Integrity

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

UNH's Academic Integrity Policy (Academic Year 2026-2027 Catalog; retrieved Sep 25, 2026) defines the misconduct categories and the instructor-led process. "Cheating" and "Plagiarism" are defined to reach AI use directly:

Reports from anyone other than the course instructor route through the Office of Community Standards: "Reports submitted to the Office of Community Standards by someone other than the faculty member of the course in which the alleged violation has occurred will be sent to the faculty member for determination of a violation." Where a student has "a demonstrated track record of academic misconduct or the alleged violation is highly serious in nature," the assistant dean may refer the matter to "the University's conduct process" under Article IV of the Code of Conduct instead — the escalation path the advisor and recording provisions above belong to.

On appeal: "Any student issued a formal academic penalty that meets the appeal threshold may request to appeal the decision." The threshold is a failing course grade, a failing grade on an assessment worth at least 20% of the final grade, or a reduced course grade by a full letter grade or at least 10% of the final grade. "To appeal a decision, the student must complete an Academic Misconduct Appeal Request within three (3) business days of receipt of the written decision letter." A Review Officer screens the appeal against four named grounds (procedural error, insufficient evidence, new evidence, or bias/conflict of interest); if it proceeds, an Undergraduate Academic Integrity Committee or Graduate Council Student Affairs Committee reviews it, "typically, within twenty (20) calendar days," and "decisions made by the committee are final and non-reviewable."

Revision history of this page

2026-09-25 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the catalog.unh.edu, td.usnh.edu and unh.edu pages linked beside them; the Academic Integrity Policy and its Code of Conduct cross-references are drawn from the Academic Year 2026-2027 Catalog, and neither the USNH Help Central KB article nor the Teaching & Learning Resource Hub pages display an on-page date. Detection-inventory sweep performed: named-vendor sweep of unh.edu, catalog.unh.edu and td.usnh.edu (Turnitin, Turnitin 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 of the Teaching & Learning Resource Hub's Academic Honesty and Generative Artificial Intelligence pages, the USNH Help Central knowledge base, the Academic Integrity Policy, and the Office of Community Standards' own pages. NOT DISQUALIFIED: Turnitin's AI writing indicator is documented as deployed and available to all UNH and CPS faculty in myCourses; the caution against using it "as the sole source of evidence for plagiarism" is UNH's own use-with-caution guidance, not a disabling or a recommendation against use, the same family as Kennesaw State, Middle Tennessee State, West Virginia and San Francisco State earlier in this queue. PROVENANCE HANDLED: the Generative Artificial Intelligence page names Vanderbilt University, the University of Texas at Austin, and St. Joseph's University as institutions that disabled or advised against AI detection; this is UNH's own page citing other institutions' actions, quoted on this page only with that provenance and never presented as UNH's position — the same trap caught on the MTSU Walker Library and WVU Libraries pages elsewhere in this collection. Respondus LockDown Browser also appears on the Academic Honesty page as an exam-environment tool with no AI-writing-detection claim. No ombuds, ombudsperson, or student-advocacy office was found anywhere on unh.edu or gradschool.unh.edu; the Office of Student Advocacy and Support that would fill this role at a sibling institution does not exist at UNH under that or a similar name, and the Dean of Students and SHARPP Center pages that do exist are not described as independent, confidential, or serving academic-integrity matters, so the docket carries the standard absence line. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING: the Academic Integrity Policy's own instructor-led track (Sections IV-VII) states no advisor or recording provision at all; the Conduct Advisor's non-participatory role and the "Recording of Proceedings" rule ("All University Hearings are recorded... Participants are prohibited from making their own recording") are drawn from Article IV of the Code of Conduct and apply only where a case is escalated to the University's conduct process under Academic Integrity Policy §VIII (egregious or multiple violations) — both are reproduced with that scope stated rather than presented as governing the ordinary instructor-student meeting. Second finding: no permanent transcript notation for a formal academic penalty is stated anywhere in the policy; the only transcript-facing provision is the temporary "NR (not resolved)" hold pending resolution, and record retention is delegated to "the Schedule for Record Retention and Disposal as described in Article IV of the Code of Conduct," which was not itself located and fetched. Deliberate omission: an accuracy-rate citation on the Generative Artificial Intelligence page (a cited study's "mean accuracy rate... was only 40% and for Turnitin was 61%") is a citation to third-party research reproduced on UNH's own page, not an institutional finding, and is not quoted here to keep the detection-status section to UNH's own statements.
