Policy
1. Instructor Discretion
Instructors have the discretion to define how, if, and when generative AI may be used in their courses to support their teaching goals.
Guidelines for the application of AI tools in a course must be clearly communicated to students and included in the course syllabus.
Because expectations for using generative AI will vary across courses, sections and assignments, students are responsible for reading the expectations carefully.
2. Student Disclosure of AI tools
As per university policy, students may only use generative AI tools to complete exams, papers, projects, computer programs, oral presentations, or other assignments following all instructions provided by the instructor in the course syllabus or assignment instructions.
In all cases, students must acknowledge any use of generative AI in writing or via citation at the time of assignment submission, as required by university policy.
Students who are uncertain about whether AI use is permitted or how it should be used in a specific course must consult their instructor before proceeding.
3. Misuse of AI Tools
Any use of generative AI that exceeds the scope of instructor permission or that fails to follow stated requirements will be considered academic misconduct.
