Examinations: Except where advance permission is granted in writing by the course instructor in the course syllabus and/or examination instructions, use of AI during any examination is prohibited. - Every word of a student’s examination answer must be produced by that student without assistance from AI (including for English translation purposes). This prohibition encompasses all examinations, irrespective of format (i.e., whether proctored or take-home, online or handwritten). - Students are not permitted to input current examination questions, prompts, or fact patterns from any course into an AI tool.

Writing Support and Error Correction: Students are permitted to consult AI to test arguments, solicit criticism, and explore alternative articulations. Students may also use AI to improve their written work, including for clarity and reliability, alternate phrasing, and tone and concision. Students are also permitted to use AI tools to assist in identifying and correcting spelling and grammatical errors. In all of these cases, students are required to independently and rigorously assess the feedback generated by AI, using their own critical judgment to decide whether and how to implement any suggestions.

Because expectations for using generative AI will vary across courses and across assignments, students must read the expectations for each course carefully. As a general rule, students should disclose to faculty if they are using generative AI platforms and in what manner they are using them in coursework.

In addition, it is important for instructors to note that when submitted as evidence in an incident report of suspected use of AI, a report from an AI detection tool confirming such use can not be used as the sole piece of proof in a Dean’s Discipline case to find a student responsible for a violation of policy.

If an instructor believes a violation of academic integrity occurred or has suspicion that a student used AI on an assignment when it was not permitted, it is essential that they report the alleged violation to Student Conduct via this Academic Integrity Violation Referral form as close to the date of detection as possible. While a conversation between the instructor and student is always encouraged, completing a full investigation into the incident on their own (e.g., running the student’s materials through an AI detection tool, holding onto the suspicious assignment until the end of the course for comparison purposes) is not encouraged.
