Generative AI for students

Using AI In your classes

As you use artificial intelligence applications in your coursework, be aware that you must use them within an ethical framework that includes a culture of academic integrity and university policies and guidelines. It is also essential to protect yourself and your data as you use these applications. The university is still evaluating the privacy and security risks they pose.

Academic integrity

Academic integrity covers a variety of topics but, in regard to AI, is primarily concerned with plagiarism and cheating. The Code of Conduct specifically prohibits most uses of AI in coursework unless explicitly permitted by the instructor. Always check with them if uncertain. For specific campus policies and resources, see Generative AI policies.

Citing generative AI

These resources are designed to assist you in correctly citing the use of AI in your coursework. However, your instructors may have additional methods or require additional information. When in doubt, always refer to the syllabus and don't hesitate to ask your instructor for clarification.
