Waterloo IST tells users to confirm whether an AI tool is listed and approved for the intended type of University data before using it with University data.
Waterloo's Academic Integrity page says instructors should state whether AI tools such as ChatGPT are allowed for assignments, tests, or exams, and that students who do not follow those instructor rules are subject to Policy 71 academic-misconduct processes.
Waterloo IST says review processes assess AI tools used with University data for security, privacy, and contractual risks.
Waterloo's graduate-student GenAI guidance says graduate students should not submit GenAI-produced work for course assignments without explicit course-instructor permission or instruction.
For units or individuals deploying AI-enabled systems that process University data, Waterloo IST says projects must undergo an Information Risk Assessment and receive Information Steward approval before using University data.
For graduate research contexts, Waterloo's GenAI guidance directs graduate students to consult supervisors and, when applicable, advisory committees about the limits and scope of GenAI-tool use.
Waterloo's AVPA course-outline suggestions include sample language for instructors who permit GenAI use, specifying that such use may be allowed for assignments with proper documentation, citation, and acknowledgement.
