Detector: OFF
The school turned off Turnitin AI writing detection in October 2023 because faculty and the Honor Council believed the harm from false positives was worse than any benefit.
“As of October 2023, Georgetown has turned off Turnitin's AI writing detection feature... in the belief that the harms of false positives are worse than any advantages of the tool”

We could not verify Georgetown University's response or appeal window from published text we trust, so we do not print one. Ask the conduct office for your date in writing today, and meanwhile plan on the checker's planning deadline — five business days from your notice — rather than waiting on any website, including this one.
Run the free checker for the planning date and your evidence order.
Most schools decide these cases at a hearing or a formal meeting — a panel, an honor council, or a conduct officer. Your notice letter names yours; if it doesn't, ask the conduct office in writing who decides and in what format.
If a detector score is being used against you at Georgetown University, the school's own decision is your first exhibit: the institution turned this tool off because it did not trust it. Ask, in writing, which tool produced your score and under what authority it was used anyway — then answer with your trail.
Next steps: count your deadline in the free checker, build from the evidence list, and compare schools in the full table.
