For students who wrote their own work
A program — Turnitin, GPTZero, or another AI detector — flagged your paper as written by AI. Your school gives you days, not weeks, to answer. What answers a score is evidence: the drafts, history, and notes that show a person doing the writing.
The free checker
Four answers, thirty seconds, no upload. Your school, the program that flagged you, the score, and the date on your notice — the checker counts your window, names how your case gets decided, and ranks the evidence that persuades.
No upload. No login. Nothing leaves this page. We will never ask you to upload your paper. Answer in plain words; the checker names your deadline from your school's published rules, tells you how your case gets decided, and ranks the evidence that answers a score.
Start where you are
Schools give days, not weeks, and the window is already running. The appeal, step by step, from the notice to the hearing.
Some schools turned the detectors off. Some bar a score as the only proof. Find your school in the published-policy table — every row sourced to the school itself or flagged as double-checked.
A score is answered by a trail: drafts, version history, research notes. What to save, starting today, in the order panels find persuasive.
What a score is — and is not
Turnitin's own false-positive claim — under 1% — counts only papers scored 20% or higher as false alarms, and Turnitin does not even show instructors scores between 1% and 19%, because that is where the mistakes cluster. Stanford researchers found detectors falsely flagged 61% of essays written by non-native English speakers. Vanderbilt University did the arithmetic on its own campus — 75,000 papers submitted in a single year, so even a 1% error rate means about 750 innocent papers flagged — and turned the detector off. So have dozens of other schools, including Arizona State University, Boston University, Colorado State University, Georgetown University, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins University.
have disabled or restricted AI detectors since 2023. If yours is one of them, that fact belongs in your answer. The list, with sources.
is what one law firm charges just for a strategy session; full defenses run to thousands. This kit costs $39 because the process is learnable — and because students are the ones paying.
Nothing on this site ever asks for your paper, your login, or your school's portal password. Your evidence stays on your machine until you hand it to your school.
Questions every accused student asks
Your school opens an academic-integrity case. You get a notice, a short window to answer, and usually a hearing or a formal meeting where the score is treated as evidence. Nothing is decided by the program — a person or a panel decides, and they can be answered with evidence: your drafts, your version history, your research trail.
Days, usually — not weeks. Every school publishes its own window, and they differ. The free checker on this page counts yours from the date on your notice, using your school's published window where we have verified it, and tells you plainly when it is giving you a planning deadline instead.
At a growing list of schools, the school's own guidance says no — a score alone is not enough. Other schools have turned the detectors off entirely. Our schools table tracks which is which, with the school's own words linked as the source.
No. Rewriting destroys the evidence that the work is yours, and uploading your paper to a stranger's site hands it to people you know nothing about. This site never asks for your paper. Save everything you have — drafts, notes, history — exactly as it is.
No. This is process education: the steps, the clocks, and the evidence, in plain words. If your school is moving to expel you, or a professional license is on the line, that is the moment for a lawyer — and the kit is built so you can hand one a file that is already organized.
