De La Salle University

Starting Term 1, 2025-2026, every course must include an explicit declaration of AI usage policies in a dedicated section of the syllabus with the heading Generative AI Use Policy.

Individual assessments can override the usage policy for a grading system component. These must be properly communicated in the syllabus or by the instructor upon the release of the assessment specifications.

Using generative AI in producing a submission in a way that is prohibited by the usage policy defined for that assessment, even if it was disclosed

For both faculty and students, the use of generative AI in the production of any material, presentation, or submission, must be accompanied by a written disclosure statement.

A separate disclosure statement is not required anymore if the disclosure is already embedded within the output itself (e.g., if the generative AI was used as part of a research methodology, and this was already explained in the Methodology section of the manuscript). Likewise, a separate disclosure statement is not required anymore if the type of generative AI use is already obvious from the specifications of the activity (e.g., the activity requires students to use generative AI for a specific purpose). •

Personal and highly sensitive information should never be shared with generative AI services. • Internal University documents, proprietary research, and confidential information should never be shared with generative AI services. •

In research, if any participant or subject data is to be processed by generative AI services, this must be indicated in the informed consent form in the data collection process. Furthermore, such data must always be anonymized, and ethical approval must be secured when necessary.

In research, students and faculty must comply with the generative AI disclosure requirements of the target venues for publication.
