29+academic_integrity: WashU student-facing AI guidance tells students to check the instructor and syllabus about whether and how AI tools may be used for classwork, and says that if no explicit policy is outlined, it is better to assume AI use is banned.
30+Evidence (en-US, 6409bee90b9d): In regard to your classwork, please check with your instructor and the syllabus about whether and how you can use ChatGPT and other tools to help you with your classwork.

There is no set policy across instructors as they are also figuring out how AI fits into the future of their disciplines and how best to teach you the skills needed for future professions. If there is no explicit policy outlined, it is better to assume that AI use is banned.
