Detection status: Turnitin's AI writing detection score is available to instructors on Canvas assignments, campus-wide; the teaching center cautions it is "not a confidence score" and states a detector result "cannot be, by itself, used to charge a student with an academic integrity violation"

UW-Green Bay is one campus of the Universities of Wisconsin (UW System), and its academic-misconduct process is set largely by a statewide administrative rule rather than by a campus-only policy — see below. These are potentially relevant official sources, not a determination of which one governs any case — course syllabi may also set AI-use rules. Confirm applicability with the institution. Any dates are quoted from the sources, not a deadline calculation performed for you.

01Detection status

Turnitin's AI writing score is in use, with an explicit non-reliance rule

UW-Green Bay's Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) describes the tool in a dated post, "Turnitin: Uses, Interpretations, & Cautions" (page dated Aug 25, 2026; retrieved Sep 30, 2026):

"In the insight panel described above, you will also notice that Turnitin has an AI writing detection score. Unlike the Similarity Report, AI writing detection is only visible to instructors. […] The overall AI detection percentage indicates the proportion of a document that Turnitin's AI algorithm suspects could be potentially generated by AI or modified using an AI paraphrasing or bypassing tool. It is not a confidence score (not "Turnitin is 98% confident that…")." "Keep in mind that there is no specific percentage score for AI detection that means AI was definitely used in completing the assignment. AI Detection may have false positive and false negative results. In fact, some schools are so skeptical of these tools that they have disabled them in their Learning Management System." "Remember that information from an "AI Detector" cannot be, by itself, used to charge a student with an academic integrity violation. It can only be used as a rationale for having a discussion with a student […]. If you do suspect possible academic misconduct and have questions about how to proceed, reach out to the Dean of Students Office and/or consult with your department chair."

The same post distinguishes Turnitin's separate similarity checker, stating that it does not itself make a determination of plagiarism, which is why Turnitin markets those results as Similarity Reports rather than plagiarism findings.

UW-Green Bay's own Generative AI Policy (Policy GB-50-24-2, approved by the Chancellor's Cabinet Aug 23, 2024) is a campus-level, not a UW-System-wide, policy: it addresses "data protection, security compliance and individual responsibility in the use of non-University-provided GAI tools," not detection. It does not name Turnitin or any other detector. Source: AI Policy & Guidelines — Office of Provost. A named-vendor sweep of uwgb.edu (SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep (the Provost's AI Policy, the Library's academic-integrity guide, the Dean of Students' misconduct pages, and CATL's teaching-technology posts) found no detector beyond Turnitin.

02Published process

What UW-Green Bay's own pages, and the state administrative code, say about how cases proceed

Who may be present: At a hearing before the academic misconduct hearing committee, the student has the right to question adverse witnesses and "the right to present evidence and witnesses, and to be heard in his or her own behalf, and the right to be accompanied by a representative of his or her choice." The hearing committee "shall make a record of the hearing," including "a verbatim record of the testimony, which may be a sound recording." Sources: Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 14, ss. 14.08(3)(a) and (c) (Register November 2024 No. 827; retrieved Sep 30, 2026), restated in UW-Green Bay's own words as a right to be "accompanied by an advisor of their choice" on its Misconduct Policies page.
What follows on the record: No transcript notation and no records-retention period is stated in UWS 14 itself. What is stated: a lesser, instructor-level "written reprimand presented only to the student" is not filed, while a more serious "written reprimand" imposed after an investigating officer's finding is "included in the student's disciplinary file." "Suspension or expulsion shall be systemwide in effect" across the Universities of Wisconsin, and a suspended or expelled student may not enroll elsewhere in the system until the suspension expires or a year has passed. Source: UWS 14, ss. 14.04(1)(b), (h) and 14.12.

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

UW-Green Bay Library's Academic Integrity guide states the governing framework directly (retrieved Sep 30, 2026): "Chapter UWS 14 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code establishes student academic disciplinary policies for the Universities of Wisconsin, including UW-Green Bay." Source: Academic Integrity Policies — UW-Green Bay Library. UWS 14 itself (Register November 2024 No. 827) states the standard of proof:

"The hearing committee may find academic misconduct and impose a sanction of suspension or expulsion only if the proof of such misconduct is clear and convincing. In other cases, a finding of misconduct must be based on a preponderance of the credible evidence." On notice and the instructor stage: no sanction may be imposed by an instructor "unless the instructor promptly offers to discuss the matter with the student." Where a more serious sanction may be warranted, a written report must give notice of the student's right to a hearing before the academic misconduct hearing committee. On appeal: where the sanction is suspension or expulsion, "the student may appeal to the chancellor to review the decision of the hearing committee on the record," and the chancellor must sustain the committee's decision unless the evidence does not support it, established procedures were not followed with material prejudice to the student, or the decision rested on a legally proscribed factor. Beyond the chancellor, "the Board of Regents may, at its discretion, grant a review upon the record."

Source: Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 14, Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures, ss. 14.05, 14.06, 14.08(3)(e), and 14.09-14.10. UW-Green Bay's own Misconduct Policies page restates the same structure in plainer language and confirms that a repeat or egregious incident is "referred to an investigating officer from the Dean of Students office." What these quotations mean for any particular case is for the institution and its process to determine.

Revision history of this page

2026-09-30 — Page created. Cold build; no prior CANDIDATES.md or procedure-facts.json research to reuse. FIRST UW SYSTEM (UNIVERSITIES OF WISCONSIN) BUILD, ANSWER TO THE STANDING QUESTION: there is no UW-System-wide AI-detection policy and no UW-System-wide position disabling or endorsing any detector. A search-engine AI summary initially described "UW System Generative AI Policy (GB-50-24-2)" as systemwide; verified first-party and corrected — GB-50-24-2 is UW-Green Bay's own policy ("GB" for Green Bay), approved by UW-Green Bay's Chancellor's Cabinet, and addresses data protection, not detection or academic integrity. What IS systemwide, and is the load-bearing finding for every future UW System campus in this queue, is Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 14, "Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures," which governs the hearing process, standard of proof, advisor right, recording, and appeal path identically across every Universities of Wisconsin institution; it predates generative AI and is silent on detection tools and on transcript notation or record-retention periods. Future UW System builds should reuse UWS 14 for process facts and check each campus separately only for detector status and campus-specific AI policy (as this one did for GB-50-24-2). Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and category sweep (Provost AI Policy, Library academic-integrity guide, Dean of Students misconduct pages, CATL teaching-technology blog) found Turnitin's AI writing detection score confirmed enabled and visible to instructors, described first-party in a dated CATL post. NOT DISQUALIFIED: documented in use with a strong non-reliance rule, not disabled or recommended against. PROCESS SOURCE PREFERENCE: UWS 14 (the binding state administrative rule, with exact section numbers) is used for verbatim quotations in section 02; UW-Green Bay's own "Misconduct Policies" page restates the same rights and sanctions in its own words (e.g. "advisor" where UWS 14 says "representative") and is cited as the institutional-implementation source rather than quoted where its wording diverges from the Code's. OMBUDS/ADVOCACY CHECKED AND NONE FOUND, TRAP AVOIDED: the Dean of Students Office brands itself "Safety, Advocacy & Support" and names academic misconduct among the concerns it helps with, but this is the same office that administers the misconduct process itself — it is UWS 14's "student affairs officer" for this campus, the party running the process, not an independent party representing an accused student — so it is not presented as an ombuds or a student advocate here, and "None located" is used instead. No office titled "ombudsperson" was found anywhere on uwgb.edu. Neither fetched HTML source page (CATL post excepted, dated Aug 25, 2026) displays its own on-page revision date; UWS 14 carries its own Register date (November 2024 No. 827) and is dated by that rather than by retrieval. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending — not requested this pass (unattended scheduled run). Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-30).
