Stanford's BCA issued guidance on generative AI use, and the Office of Community Standards recommends that instructors give advance notice to students when using AI detection software.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1To give sufficient space for instructors to explore uses of generative AI tools in their courses, and to set clear guidelines to students about what uses are and are not consistent with the Stanford Honor Code, the BCA has set forth policy guidance regarding generative AI in the context of coursework. Note: Guidance adopted on February 16, 2023. As part of the BCA's guidance on clear communication of a course's generative AI policy, OCS recommends course instructors provide clear advance notice that they may use detection software to review work submitted for use of generative AI.
Teaching
For Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) MBA and MSx courses, instructors may not ban student use of AI tools for take-home coursework, including assignments and exams. Instructors may choose whether to allow AI for in-class work. For PhD and undergraduate courses, GSB follows the university-wide Generative AI Policy Guidance from the Office of Community Standards.

Instructors may choose whether to allow student use of AI tools for in-class work, including exams. PhD/Undergraduate courses: Follow the Generative AI Policy Guidance from Stanford's Office of Community Standards.
Teaching
Stanford School of Medicine MD and MSPA programs have a formal AI policy: students may use AI for learning, clarification, and grammar/style editing unless contrary to assignment instructions. AI use for closed-book exams or assignments where internet is restricted is prohibited unless explicitly authorized by faculty. Students are responsible for all AI-generated content they submit, must disclose and cite substantial AI contributions, and violations may result in disciplinary action.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Learning and Clarification: Students may utilize AI to enhance their understanding of medical concepts, definitions, and for grammar/style editing, provided it does not conflict with specific assignment instructions or be inconsistent with faculty-authorized tasks. The use of AI tools is discouraged for any activities in which students are evaluated on their own knowledge or skills, unless explicitly granted permission by the faculty. Any substantial contributions from AI tools on assignments, presentations, and scholarly abstracts or proposals must be disclosed and properly cited. Students are responsible for any AI-generated content they submit, even if flawed or biased. All MD and MSPA...
Privacy
Stanford School of Medicine MD and MSPA programs strictly prohibit entering confidential research data, patient data, or protected health information (PHI) into public AI platforms. Use of patient-identifying information or PHI in public AI tools is strictly forbidden. Students must use Stanford-approved AI platforms (e.g., Stanford Healthcare Secure GPT, Stanford AI Playground) when handling sensitive data.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1To ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times, no confidential research, patient data, or other protected health information (PHI) is to be entered into public AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenEvidence, Doximity, etc.). Patient Confidential Data: The use of patient-identifying information or protected health information (PHI) in public AI tools is strictly forbidden.
Teaching
Stanford Law School instructors set their own AI policies; in the absence of a course-specific policy, students may use generative AI to support learning and develop or refine their own ideas, but may not use AI to generate content presented as their own work. Using AI during an exam or to draft/revise submitted work is not permitted unless disclosed in advance and explicitly authorized in writing by the instructor. Unauthorized use may result in an F grade and/or referral to Stanford's Office of Community Standards.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1In the absence of a course-specific AI policy set by the instructor, students may use generative AI tools to support their learning and to aid in the development or refinement of their own ideas, provided they do not use such tools to generate content that is then presented as their own work. The use of generative AI while taking an exam or to draft or revise any portion of submitted work is not permitted unless (1) fully disclosed in advance of its use by the student to the instructor, and (2) explicitly authorized by the instructor in writing prior to the student's use of the tool. Unauthorized use of AI tools may result in a lower grade, including a grade of F, and/or a referral to Sta...
Teaching
Stanford's Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) prohibits students from using generative AI or LLMs to compose drafts or revisions for any major assignment in PWR courses, including composing or revising portions of essays or scripts, including paraphrases of LLM-generated writing. Students may not rely on generative AI summaries of sources. Violation of PWR's AI policy is treated as an Honor Code violation and results in referral to the Office of Community Standards.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Students may not use generative AI or LLMs to compose the drafts or revisions for any of the major assignments in their PWR classes. This includes using generative AI to compose or revise portions of their essay or scripts (from individual phrases or sentences to longer passages) or including in their essays/scripts paraphrases of LLM-generated writing or paraphrases of source material generated by LLMs. Violation of PWR's AI policy is considered an Honor Code violation and will result in the involvement of Stanford's Office of Community Standards (OCS).
