Generative AI Policy

The policy is effective starting with the August 2024 session.

The University supports the transparent and ethical use of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI), which refers to technologies that can create text, images, or multimedia. All use of Gen-AI programs must comply with all University policies, including without limitation, the University's academic integrity policy in the “Prohibited Student Conduct” section of the Student Handbook and any guidelines provided by individual departments. 

While Gen-AI may be used to begin the process of researching and to provide editing assistance, Gen-AI-generated content is not considered original, so it must be cited as borrowed ideas, images, or wording. Any use of Gen-AI that appears in a submission must be attributed or cited appropriately, e.g., (OpenAI, 2024). Students are responsible for originality and accuracy of content developed from research or writing tools, including Gen-AI. When requested, students must reveal how and to what extent Gen-AI tools were used. 

Failure to adhere to this Gen-AI Policy or any other policies and guidelines, may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the University.
