Coursework

Set by each course

Whether, when and how generative AI may be used is set by each instructor and stated in the syllabus; students must follow course and departmental policies. Directly copying output, passing off AI output (including reworded or paraphrased output) as your own, or exceeding the instructor's limits is an academic integrity violation. Some departments are stricter: Art and Archaeology bans AI text generation, drafting and editing in coursework unless an instructor grants a disclosed exception.

Official source ↗

Exams

Follow exam instructions

No university-wide AI permission applies to examinations. Undergraduates may not use non-Princeton tutoring resources, including AI tutoring bots, when completing quizzes or examinations or any work for an academic requirement, and exceeding the instructor's parameters is a violation. Art and Archaeology prohibits AI text generation in final examinations.

Official source ↗

Disclosure

Required when AI is permitted

When an instructor permits generative AI, students must disclose its use rather than cite it, because AI is not a source. Failing to disclose, including AI used for rewording, paraphrasing or editing, is a scholarly integrity violation even in courses where AI is allowed. Instructors may supply a disclosure template; otherwise the University template asks which tool was used, for what purpose, and confirms records were kept.

Privacy & sensitive data

Depends on data class

Princeton's Generative AI Tools Use Policy covers administrative and operational University information (student, financial, HR records), not information used for research, academic or instructional purposes. For that information, Internal or Confidential data may only go into University-licensed AI tools, never into public AI tools, and Restricted data must not be used with any AI tool. Research and teaching data follow their own rules.

Official source ↗

Institutional tools

Eligibility varies by tool

OIT lists Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Adobe Creative Cloud image generation for faculty, students and staff without a request. Other tools (Claude/Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Workspace+, Gemini Notebook, the AI Sandbox) are for faculty and those they sponsor, Microsoft 365 Copilot Premium is faculty-only, and Zoom AI is a faculty/staff pilot; these require a request and the directory marks a cost. Tools are approved for Public, Internal and Confidential data, not Restricted. Access is not permission to use a tool in a course.

Official source ↗

Research & publication

Department and research rules apply

There is no single university-wide AI rule for theses in the reviewed sources; independent work follows department policy. Art and Archaeology never allows exceptions for the junior paper or senior thesis. Research AI tools such as the AI Sandbox and Claude are available to faculty and those they sponsor for research use.

Academic integrity & procedures

Integrity rules apply

Undisclosed AI use, passing off AI output as your own and exceeding permitted use are academic integrity violations under Rights, Rules, Responsibilities. Undergraduates may not use AI tutoring bots for graded work. The McGraw Center recommends against using AI detectors to decide whether a policy was violated. Discipline procedures and penalties are set by the separate Honor Committee and Committee on Discipline processes and were not re-verified in this review.

Teaching guidance

Recommended

Princeton's Office of the Dean of the College requires faculty to set clear expectations for whether, when, and how generative AI can be used and state those expectations in the course syllabus, while students must abide by scholarly integrity expectations, including disclosing generative AI use and never passing off AI-generated content as their own work.

Official source ↗

Security and procurement

Review required

Under Princeton's Generative AI Tools Use Policy, if you are considering procuring a generative AI tool or if an existing information technology tool acquires generative AI capabilities, the first step is to schedule an Architecture & Security Review (ASR).

CL-004
Faculty must set clear expectations for whether, when, and how generative AI can be used and state those expectations in the course syllabus. Work created with the assistance of AI tools should never be a proxy for original work. All students are expected to abide by scholarly integrity expectations for appropriate generative AI use, which include disclosing their use of generative AI and not passing off AI-generated content as their own work.

Princeton's Department of Art and Archaeology prohibits using AI as a text-generation tool in coursework, final examinations and independent projects: students may not submit AI-generated text, use AI-generated text as a draft they then modify or paraphrase, or use generative AI to edit and revise their work. Instructors may grant exceptions for a course assignment with written disclosure, but exceptions will never be made for the junior paper or senior thesis. This department rule is stricter than general course-by-course permission.

Princeton's Rights, Rules, Responsibilities (2.4) states that generative AI is not a source; where an instructor permits generative AI, students must disclose its use rather than cite or acknowledge it. Disclosure of permitted use is therefore required, not merely recommended, while whether AI may be used at all is set by the course or department. Scholarly Integrity guidance says failure to disclose, even in a course where AI is permitted, is a scholarly integrity violation, and offers a disclosure template.

Historical OIT page text: 'Copilot is currently the only generative AI tool made available by the Office of Information Technology (OIT).' The same legacy page was still online on 2026-10-20, but OIT's current Princeton-supported AI Tools directory lists several tools (including Copilot Chat, Adobe, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Claude and Zoom AI), so the 'only tool' statement is held as historical and not shown as current.

Questions students ask

Questions students ask

Can I use AI for my coursework?

Whether, when and how generative AI may be used is set by each instructor and stated in the syllabus; students must follow course and departmental policies. Directly copying output, passing off AI output (including reworded or paraphrased output) as your own, or exceeding the instructor's limits is an academic integrity violation. Some departments are stricter: Art and Archaeology bans AI text generation, drafting and editing in coursework unless an instructor grants a disclosed exception.

View evidence →

Do I need to disclose AI use?

When an instructor permits generative AI, students must disclose its use rather than cite it, because AI is not a source. Failing to disclose, including AI used for rewording, paraphrasing or editing, is a scholarly integrity violation even in courses where AI is allowed. Instructors may supply a disclosure template; otherwise the University template asks which tool was used, for what purpose, and confirms records were kept.

View evidence →

Can I upload sensitive data?

Princeton's Generative AI Tools Use Policy covers administrative and operational University information (student, financial, HR records), not information used for research, academic or instructional purposes. For that information, Internal or Confidential data may only go into University-licensed AI tools, never into public AI tools, and Restricted data must not be used with any AI tool. Research and teaching data follow their own rules.

View evidence →

Which tools can I access?

OIT lists Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Adobe Creative Cloud image generation for faculty, students and staff without a request. Other tools (Claude/Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Workspace+, Gemini Notebook, the AI Sandbox) are for faculty and those they sponsor, Microsoft 365 Copilot Premium is faculty-only, and Zoom AI is a faculty/staff pilot; these require a request and the directory marks a cost. Tools are approved for Public, Internal and Confidential data, not Restricted. Access is not permission to use a tool in a course.

View evidence →

What are the examination rules?

No university-wide AI permission applies to examinations. Undergraduates may not use non-Princeton tutoring resources, including AI tutoring bots, when completing quizzes or examinations or any work for an academic requirement, and exceeding the instructor's parameters is a violation. Art and Archaeology prohibits AI text generation in final examinations.

View evidence →

What rules apply to research and publication?

There is no single university-wide AI rule for theses in the reviewed sources; independent work follows department policy. Art and Archaeology never allows exceptions for the junior paper or senior thesis. Research AI tools such as the AI Sandbox and Claude are available to faculty and those they sponsor for research use.

View evidence →

What counts as academic misconduct?

Undisclosed AI use, passing off AI output as your own and exceeding permitted use are academic integrity violations under Rights, Rules, Responsibilities. Undergraduates may not use AI tutoring bots for graded work. The McGraw Center recommends against using AI detectors to decide whether a policy was violated. Discipline procedures and penalties are set by the separate Honor Committee and Committee on Discipline processes and were not re-verified in this review.

View evidence →

What guidance applies to teaching?

Princeton's Office of the Dean of the College requires faculty to set clear expectations for whether, when, and how generative AI can be used and state those expectations in the course syllabus, while students must abide by scholarly integrity expectations, including disclosing generative AI use and never passing off AI-generated content as their own work.

View evidence →

What security and procurement requirements apply?

Under Princeton's Generative AI Tools Use Policy, if you are considering procuring a generative AI tool or if an existing information technology tool acquires generative AI capabilities, the first step is to schedule an Architecture & Security Review (ASR).
