Under the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) 2026–2027 Personal Conduct and Academic Integrity Standards, inserting AI-generated text into an assignment without proper attribution is a violation of academic integrity standards, and using AI tools in a manner not authorized by faculty may also constitute a breach. Permissibility of AI writing tools varies from course to course and across research settings; graduate students are responsible for consulting relevant faculty members before using AI tools for coursework or research.

Under GSAS 2026–2027 standards, graduate students have the responsibility to be able to articulate explicitly the process by which they conduct research and draft work, including the ability to provide a draft history of submitted work demonstrating original thought and composition. In evaluating disciplinary allegations involving inappropriate use of AI tools, the absence of this material or an inability to articulate clearly the research and writing process may be taken into account.

Yale Library guidance says licensed resources generally may not be used with AI because of copyright and vendor licensing agreements. Users should check the specific resource licence; the guide directs licence questions to the License Review Steering Committee and copyright questions to the Yale Copyright Librarian.

Under GSAS Committee on Regulations and Discipline procedures, students are asked to respond in writing to an allegation. Written statements are ordinarily due to the secretary two weeks after the student receives notification of the charge. The statement should admit or deny the allegations, including admission of some allegations and denial of others where applicable.
