Generally, implementation of sanctions will be suspended until all appeals made by the student have been exhausted. If no appeal is filed within 10 business days of the initial notification, the decision shall become final and will be implemented at the conclusion of the appeal period.

Suspected cases of academic integrity violations should be reported to the course instructor or the relevant administrator of the school in which the course or program is based. Reports must be brought within 1 month of the date the reporting individual becomes aware of the alleged incident. The relevant administrator of the school will review the report and decide whether to bring a charge. Students charged with an academic integrity violation may not change their registration or grading basis in a course in which the charge is pending, or in which a finding of an academic integrity violation has been made.

All proven cases of an academic integrity violation should be penalized as appropriate under the circumstances. Sanctions will be imposed by the school in which the student is enrolled. (Note: For dual degree students, sanctions will be jointly decided by the relevant administrators in the applicable schools.) The imposition of any sanction other than a reprimand or warning should include a statement of reasons supporting its severity. Sanctions may include but are not limited to: A letter of reprimand and warning. A defined period of suspension of one or more quarters. Ineligibility for certain awards, honors and special programs.

It is each student’s responsibility to be aware of all rules and policies applicable to their program. In particular, it is the student’s responsibility to understand the guidelines set by instructors around the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Such guidelines may vary considerably from course to course and even across assignments within a single course. When students have a question regarding the acceptable use of GenAI, they are expected to seek clarification from the instructor. Students may find these additional resources helpful:

As AI-enabled eyeglasses become more accessible, several faculty have raised concerns that students may wear them into exams or other assessments. We recommend including a line on syllabi such as: “AI-enabled wearables are not permitted during quizzes, exams, or other assessments. Students with prescription smart glasses should be ready to use standard prescription glasses in this course.” In our communication to students this week, we are reminding any users of smart prescription glasses to bring standard prescription glasses to campus.

In most cases, the data you share as part of your queries in generative AI tools will be accessible by others using the same tools. This is because generative AI learns by collecting, analyzing, and storing user-provided information. Therefore, University faculty, staff, students, and affiliates should not enter institutional data into any generative AI tools that have not been validated by the University for appropriate use and have explicit permission of the data provider.
