URI Libraries guidance says generative AI use should be acknowledged or cited, students should check professor expectations before using AI in coursework, and directly used AI output needs a formal citation.

URI ITS tells students to follow instructors' AI policies, attribute AI-generated content, and avoid AI use that breaches URI's Student Code of Conduct.

URI AI guidance asks educators to incorporate URI guidance into course design, communicate acceptable AI use to students, disclose AI use in course materials, and the Provost memo frames new AI syllabus statements as optional faculty resources.

URI ITS preliminary responsible-AI standards direct users to follow URI data classification guidance, avoid entering private or restricted data into public AI tools, and be cautious that data may be transmitted to third-party servers.

URI ITS points users to URI-supported AI tools such as LibreChat and Microsoft Copilot, and its Generative AI service page says role-based service search displays AI-related tools vetted for use at URI.

As of July 2025, a Provost syllabus memo stated that URI did not have a university-wide policy governing generative AI use in coursework, while offering optional AI syllabus statements for faculty.
