No. With the possible exception dreemyweird noted (which I personally never heard of before she mentioned it), this is not an actual thing. Which makes OP's concern a little more paranoid than it already is.

It can be done in creative writing classes. All they have to do is swap out the names and tweak a few things.

Any creative writing teacher worth his/her salt would be able to pick this up in a heartbeat. It's not just names that are a dead giveaway in fanfiction.

Depends how AU it is.

Most teachers I had warned us they'd be googling phrases from our assignments. And since at least one person got caught, they weren't lying. I have a hard time believing that so few teachers take such a basic precaution that there's any sort of widespread use of AO3 as a "free homework" engine.

Not to mention, there are so many easier classes out there, most of the people who are in a creative writing class are there because they actually want to write, and improve. This sort of thing sounds way more likely in a lit course where, again, fic won't work even if it's tweaked. Meta maybe. But not fic.
