Faculty should ensure that the use of a detection service does not violate their
college's Intellectual Property Policy or the student's rights under the U.S. Federal Copyright Law.
Before submitting student work to online detection services, you should also familiarize
yourself with your campus and/or departmental policies regarding student copyright. This
is sometimes located in your institutional Intellectual Property Policies, but if you are
having difficulty finding these policies begin by contacting a department chair, campus
librarian, or academic council. In addition, spend a moment familiarizing yourself with
the documentation and scope of the detection service you will be using.
In this stage you should be considering the following:
- Will the service archive all student submissions for further detection?
- Will the use of this service violate my university's FERPA
policy?
- Is student permission obtained before retaining papers?
- Will all submissions be immediately destroyed after a report is generated?
- Has my institution made provisions for these concerns in their contract with the vendor?
- If not, should I use aliases for student names to avoid violating student privacy?
