Accused of using AI at University of Oregon? Its own rules, on the record.

The university does not currently endorse AI-detection tools for assignments because they create false positives and may be ineffective, per its AI Council guidance.

How your case gets decided

An administrative conference with the Director or a case manager, or a hearing before a hearings panel; appeals are written-only to the University Appellate Body.

What this means for your answer

University of Oregon restricts or discourages detectors in its own guidance. Ask, in writing, whether the use in your case followed the school's own limits — then answer with your trail, which is the evidence that outlasts the argument about the tool.

Next steps: count your deadline in the free checker, build from the evidence list, and compare schools in the full table.

Included in the $39 MyWorkMyWords Kit

  • The evidence binder builder: the exact order to assemble version history, drafts, research trail, and earlier writing into one file a panel can follow in five minutes
  • Appeal statement templates: the fill-in structure for 'I wrote this, and here is the trail' — for a first answer, a formal appeal, and a score-only case where the school's own rules bar the score as sole proof
  • Hearing scripts: what to say when they read the score aloud, the questions to ask about the report, and how to answer 'did you use AI?' without talking yourself into a corner
  • The deadline tracker: your window, your hearing date, and the 'what to save from today' checklist so nothing expires while you build the file
  • The escalation page: the signs your case has outgrown a $39 kit — expulsion on the table, a license at stake — and how to hand a lawyer a file that is already built
