Does ASU (Arizona State University) use AI detectors?
Allowed, with cautions ASU has not recommended one. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' instructor guidelines say ASU administration has recommended no specific tool to detect AI use and that such tools are not reliable. A result is only a starting point for a conversation; suspected AI use alone is not enough to start a formal investigation.

What AI detector does Colorado State University use?
Never turned on None centrally. Colorado State's Academic Integrity Program director wrote on the TILT teaching site in April 2023 that CSU asked to join Turnitin's suppression list, so the AI Writing Detection tool does not appear in Canvas. A 2024 TILT academic-integrity post says faculty are coached to describe what they see, without a detection tool.

How to read a result
- The status is what the school's own page says, as we read it on the date shown. Pages change; check the linked page for the current wording. Re-checks are planned monthly.
- Where a page covers one college or a library guide rather than the whole university, the school name is followed by a note saying so.
- A university-wide status isn't the last word. Where a detector is available, individual instructors usually decide whether to use it. Your syllabus and your school's academic-integrity policy set the rules for your course.
- Coursework only. This says nothing about admissions essays.
Method, counts by type of school and the full write-up: Do universities use AI detectors? We checked 300. Looking for AI humanizer plans instead? Try the plan finder.
