Coursework · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

The2025 instructor guideline assigns the course instructor the choice of prohibition, limited uses or broader uses, announced in syllabus and class. Example syllabus texts are options, not universal student permission.

Exams · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

The2025 teacher guideline generally prohibits GenAI in supervised exams and limits electronic devices. In unproctored/open assessments, any permitted uses must be decided and announced beforehand. Preserve the “in principle” qualification and actual exam instructions.

Disclosure · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

Where AI use is permitted, the instructor selects and announces one or more disclosure/log methods. Prompt fields, versions and upload examples are selected course methods, not a universal checklist.

Data safety · Records involved: 1 (1 added)

Record addition

Added

The2025 guidance warns against inputting personal/confidential/unpublished research or patent information into external cloud AI. Teachers should not upload entire student assessment texts for AI grading/analysis. No retention duration or approved institutional service is established.

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

Record addition

Added

The2025 researcher guideline does not recognise AI as author. Humans retain core design/analysis/conclusions and responsibility; disclose tool/version/developer/purpose, verify outputs and follow journal requirements. Core original outputs may not be generated by AI under the stated restriction.

Site conclusion text changes
Old text

Yonsei University Research Ethics Center guidance says students using generative AI in academic work must provide clear and accurate citations.

New text

Yonsei’s May 2024 guideline asks students to clearly cite generative AI use; the August 2025 instructor guideline requires instructors to specify permissible course uses and choose and announce appropriate disclosure or prompt-record submission methods.

Site correction

Site conclusion text changes
Old text

Yonsei University Research Ethics Center guidance tells students that generative AI may be permitted or restricted depending on the course and that students should consult the syllabus and course policies.

New text

Yonsei students should follow the instructor’s announced syllabus/course AI-use rules; the August 2025 instructor guideline also addresses permitted and prohibited exam contexts and disclosure when use is allowed.

Record addition

Added

AI detector results are supplementary and should not alone determine grades or sanctions; consider the student’s explanation and instructor review. General grading dishonesty rules do not make every AI use cheating.

Record addition

Added

The2026 academic rules require scholarly ethics and allow discipline under their conditions. The undergraduate grading page says dishonesty/cheating invalidates obtained grades and gives the course F. No universal AI-specific penalty follows without the applicable course rule and finding.

Record addition

Added

The research-integrity committee process is for research participants, not ordinary course appeals. Preliminary investigation starts within30 days of report and finishes within30 of start; main investigation starts within30 after approval and finishes within120, extendable with approval. Objection is within30 days of determination notice and processed within60 of receipt. Day types are unspecified.
