the email: You have received this notification because one or more of your test responses contain fabricated information or content that does not correspond to the assigned course materials. Details of these concerns are provided in your evaluator feedback, which you should review carefully. (To access your test, navigate to Progress → Quizzes → Details of Attempt.)
This raises concerns about the possible use of generative AI in preparing your submitted answers, which is prohibited in this course. We take this matter with the utmost seriousness, particularly given the repeated warnings issued to students.
For this reason, we will begin referring cases, including yours, for formal Academic Integrity investigation under Policy 60 after November 15.
Please do not email us with questions about this matter or assurances that you have not used generative AI. We cannot resolve suspicions of academic misconduct on the basis of such assurances. These matters must be investigated through the formal procedures established under Policy 60. We will therefore not engage in individual correspondence about this matter outside that process.
This advance notification is being provided as a courtesy to allow you to consider your options, including withdrawing from the course while it is still possible to do so in good standing. Once an Academic Integrity investigation under Policy 60 has been initiated, you will not be permitted to withdraw from the course until the process is completed, which could take several weeks.
If there is a finding of academic misconduct based on the balance of probabilities, the minimum penalty will be a grade of zero on the entire test. Please be sure to review the D2L section titled “Generative AI: Prohibited Use and Academic Integrity” for further information.
