Generative AI can support your education through brainstorming, creating study materials, and explaining difficult concepts.
Misusing this technology undermines our mission of seeking knowledge, affirming faith, and changing the world. Using AI to replace genuine engagement contradicts education's purpose. Consider whether you're supplementing your learning or substituting it.
This policy ensures authentic engagement with course material in a technology-rich environment. While AI will likely feature in your future career, you must develop the knowledge and skills your assignments are designed to build.
Presenting AI-generated or modified work as your own constitutes academic dishonesty. Using AI in ways that violate instructor policies or without explicit permission violates the University's Academic Integrity Policy. Failing to verify AI-provided information also breaches academic integrity.
Using AI as a reference tool for ideation, research assistance, translation, or tutoring is permitted with faculty discretion if properly acknowledged and cited. Always check your syllabus and consult instructors about AI use in specific courses.
When not explicitly addressed in coursework, students should consult supervisors, department chairs, or associate deans regarding appropriate AI use.
Students conducting AI-related research should collaborate with faculty advisors to follow field-specific best practices and document methodology, data sources, and algorithms. Those conducting human subjects research involving AI must follow Institutional Review Board policies.
