Graduate student academic misconduct refers, but is not limited to plagiarism, cheating, fabrication or the facilitation of academic dishonesty by any student, while enrolled in a graduate program. It is different from research misconduct which is fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism, in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Research misconduct is reported through the Vice Chancellor’s Office for Research

Students have a right to appeal (within 10 days of receiving the notification of the hearing committee’s decision), if A student has new evidence that was not available at the time of the hearing that could affect the committee’s decision. A student has grounds to believe that there was a significant procedural error that affected the committee’s decision.

The timelines for a written appeal are as follows: (1) If the administrative resolution does not include a separation status sanction, the student must submit the written appeal within ten (10) days of the issuance of the Administrative Resolution Letter. (2) If the Administrative Resolution includes a separation status sanction, and the student does not request a formal hearing but wishes to appeal the sanctions, the student must submit a written intent to appeal the sanctions within five (5) days of issuance of the Administrative Resolution Letter and must submit their written appeal within ten (10) days of the issuance of the Administrative Resolution

The Graduate Student Academic Misconduct Policy describes two phases for addressing suspected academic misconduct by graduate and professional students: An early resolution phase and a committee-led investigation phase. Throughout both phases, the Graduate Division serves as an impartial consultant to ensure consistency, equity, and adherence to due process. All information related to a case is evaluated through the preponderance standard, which means more likely than not, or a 51% likelihood.

Therefore, assignments or learning activities where GenAI is not permitted should consider adopting one or more of the following solutions: Written Statement of Academic Integrity: As a member of the UC Berkeley community, I act with honesty, integrity, and respect for others. In-person proctored exams/activities An additional interview component (or oral exam) to an assignment where students are graded on an explanation of their work.

For any assignments where the instructor encourages or requires the use of GenAI tools, instructors should ensure that students have access to the necessary computing resources to run those GenAI tools. If non-campus-sanctioned resources are required, it is the instructor's responsibility to provide access to those resources.

UC Berkeley, like most of our UC peers, has not enabled Turnitin’s AI writing and paraphrasing detection feature in bCourses for general use. An ongoing pilot study started in Fall 2023 by RTL highlights the challenge that, unlike its traditional plagiarism detection functionality, Turnitin’s algorithm-based AI writing detection feature does not necessarily provide the same conclusive evidence for the use of GenAI in student submitted coursework.

It is important to underline that the utilization of different GenAI detection tools are problematic due to student privacy concerns. Therefore it is recommended that instructors do not upload student materials to third parties who do not have a MOU with the university. At this time, UC Berkeley does not have an agreement with any third party AI detection tools.

Personal Liability: Please note that certain generative AI tools use click-through agreements. Click-through agreements, including OpenAI and ChatGPT terms of use, are contracts. Individuals who accept click-through agreements without delegated signature authority may face personal consequences, including responsibility for compliance with terms and conditions.

UC Berkeley also has AI risk assessment pre-screening questions that can be used by employees to gauge the level of risk involved for an AI use case (whereby AI is integrated into a product, service or feature at the university). Depending on the level of risk determined, a subcommittee may be engaged and the broader risk assessment conducted.
