Student guide · Task scope and procedure
Keep grade grievances separate from AI misconduct.
The acquired BS rules cover grade grievances, Dean review, rechecking and disability exam support. The old Turnitin guide’s 5% match advice is not an AI verdict. No institution-wide AI-use rule or complete AI disciplinary route was acquired. This gap means unverified scope, not permission and not absence of policy.
A complete student policy summary is not available yet; see the collected claims and sources.
Scope and transition details
The acquired BS rules cover grade grievances, Dean review, rechecking and disability exam support. The old Turnitin guide’s 5% match advice is not an AI verdict. No institution-wide AI-use rule or complete AI disciplinary route was acquired. This gap means unverified scope, not permission and not absence of policy.
Don't
- Do not use a grade-grievance clock for an AI discipline case.
- Do not call a 5% similarity match an AI verdict.
- Do not infer AI permission from missing acquired rules.

How you can respond
Site interpretation
QAU’s BS Morning/Evening rules create a Departmental Grievance Committee with conflict safeguards and a Dean appeal route for academic/fairness matters. Frivolous complaints can receive warning and repeated warnings may be referred to UDC. This is not an acquired AI misconduct investigation/appeal code.

Departmental Grievance Committee
There shall be a ‘Departmental Grievance Committee’ comprising of:
Chairperson/Director of the Department/School/Institute/Centre will chair the committee proceedings. In case if grievance is against the Chairperson/Director, the senior most faculty member will chair the Committee.
Two senior most faculty members other than the faculty member against whom any complaint is registered (if any). In case the complainant is a female student, at least one of the Committee members must be female or be co-opted from the Department/School/Institute/Centre of faculty concerned for this purpose.
In case of special examinations the teacher(s) concerned shall be the member of the Grievance Committee.
The committee will address the request for special examinations, and grievances of the students about any course instructor or grade or for any other academic or fairness issues. The committee shall forward its report/recommendations to the Dean.
Appellate body against the decision of the said committee will be the Dean of the faculty. Frivolous complaints by the student will result in an official warning and on receiving repeated warnings, the student may be referred to the U.D.C.View official source ↗Collected: 2026-10-08 · 183–189

BS answer-book rechecking is for totals and unmarked parts, not re-evaluation, within one month of declared results and on the stated fee/attendance conditions. The following clause provides a lower-education writer and extra time for a blind student on Chair recommendation. Neither is established as an AI-specific accommodation or discipline appeal.

It is general paper/thesis plagiarism guidance, not an AI detector threshold or a rule declaring every similarity match misconduct. The 2012 URL and old interface are retained as currentness limits.
