Google NotebookLM is listed for University of California, Riverside in an official university AI tools source. Derived availability: allowed. Derived endorsement type: institutionally licensed or procured.

UCR's Provost guidelines state that generative AI tools that have not passed a campus security review may be used with public data only; for other data classifications, UCR points to secure tools including Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot.

UCR's Provost generative-AI guidelines say instructional uses of generative AI by instructors or students should aim to improve student learning and align with UCR's instructional mission.

UCR ITS lists UCR-supported AI tools by role and allowed data level, including Gemini, NotebookLM, Google AI Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Vertex AI, Zoom AI Companion, The Grove, and a ChatGPT EDU offering that the page says is not currently available.

UCR's student-facing AI announcement says students should discuss generative-AI expectations with professors, use AI to assist or enhance rather than replace original work, avoid generating entire deliverables, and cite AI-generated content or data when used.

UCR XCITE advises instructors to discuss when AI may be used in coursework and how it should be cited, and its sample syllabus language treats uncited AI use as a potential academic-integrity issue.

UCR's public generative-AI guidance for instructional settings places course-level use decisions with the Instructor of Record rather than setting one universal student-use rule in the evidence reviewed here.

UCR's general academic-integrity page defines academic misconduct to include using prohibited or inappropriate materials, plagiarism without appropriate credit, and unauthorized collaboration without instructor permission.
