No independently reviewed summary is available for this revision yet.

This is a historical record summary, not confirmation of current permission or a new university rule.

Coursework · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

UCLA’s Interim2026 Code identifies unauthorized or prohibited AI assignment composition as cheating and AI-composed work without attribution as plagiarism. Follow the actual instructor’s directions; the2026–27 resource memo establishes no new academic policy or course permission.

Data safety · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

UCLA DTS requires explicit secure-environment approval before entering protected student/health/personnel information, unpublished research/IP/grants or restricted data. The comparison allows P1–P3 in UCLA accounts, requires Unit Head/CISO approval for P4, and excludes PHI from UCLA Health users’ campus AI tools. These conditions do not establish no retention.

Approved tools · Records involved: 1 (1 added)
Research & publication · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

Policy993 and Procedure993.1 apply from January1,2026 to specified research appointments/funding circumstances. Ordinary students’ research allegations generally follow the Student Code unless the stated sponsored-research exception applies. A public-review draft is not the operative policy.

Academic integrity · Records involved: 3 (1 corrected / adjusted · 2 added)

Site correction

Site conclusion text changes
Old text

UCLA Academic Senate guidance quotes the Student Conduct Code requirement that submissions must be the student’s own work or clearly acknowledge the source, and says that unless an instructor indicates otherwise, use of ChatGPT or other AI tools for course assignments is akin to receiving assistance from another person.

New text

The UCLA Academic Senate's 2023 teaching guidance explains instructor-specific AI rules and source acknowledgement. The Interim 2026 Conduct Code further expressly defines unauthorized AI composition as cheating and unacknowledged AI-created work as plagiarism; follow the faculty member's course directions.

Record addition

Added

The2026 individual Code uses separate administrative-resolution and post-hearing routes, with five-plus-five and ten-Day formulations in different passages. Their overlap/start-event relationship remains unresolved in this local review; obtain the applicable notice and route instead of calculating one universal appeal deadline.

Record addition

Added

Under the individual Code, students can select or request an Advisor, inspect relevant documents and respond to allegations. An Advisor supports but does not speak for or disrupt proceedings. Contact Student Conduct to schedule the initial meeting within five University business Days from notice; preserve the actual notice.

Teaching guidance · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

UCLA’s dated Turnitin announcement opted out of its AI-writing detection preview, citing concerns; it does not establish a blanket ban on all detection technologies. Senate teaching advice encourages clear course expectations rather than universal permission.

Security and procurement · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

UCLA’s third-party risk process acts at the pre-contract stage. Use the relevant GRC intake and product-specific approvals; procurement/security review and course authorization are separate.

Privacy · Records involved: 1 (1 corrected / adjusted)

Site correction

Site conclusion text changes
Old text

UCLA DTS guidance says users may not input FERPA-protected student information, HIPPA/HIPAA-protected health data, employee personnel/performance data, unpublished research/IP/grant proposals, or export-controlled or restricted data into AI tools unless explicitly approved in a secure environment.

New text

UCLA DTS prohibits entering FERPA student data, HIPAA health data, personnel data, unpublished research/IP/grants and export-controlled data into AI services unless explicitly approved in a secure environment; use its GRC intake for questions.
