How should I address suspected academic integrity violations, including concerns about AI use?

Excelsior University has two Academic Integrity Support Specialists available to assist faculty. If you are unsure whether a student’s work constitutes a violation, contact ude.roislecxeobfsctd-8cb7c4@SALC or ude.roislecxeobfsctd-28ef8b@SHNC for guidance.

Important Reminders

  • Do not rely solely on Turnitin AI scores. Consider other indicators, such as changes in writing style, fabricated sources, or document metadata. If no additional concerns exist, faculty may grade the work as submitted.
  • Speak with the student first. Discuss your concerns and ask about their writing process before concluding that AI was used or submitting a violation report.
  • Report concerns when appropriate. If concerns remain after reviewing the evidence and speaking with the student, complete the Academic Integrity Violation Reporting Form.
