• Undisclosed Use: Failing to clearly disclose the use of AI tools when instructed to do so.
Disclosure Requirement If you use AI tools in your work, include a brief AI Usage Statement at the end of your assignment. For example: “Portions of this assignment were generated with the assistance of ChatGPT to outline initial ideas and clarify grammar. All substantive analysis and final composition are my own.”
Failure to disclose AI use when required may be treated as a violation of academic integrity.
Academic Integrity Reminder This course adheres to the university’s Academic Integrity Policy. Using AI to bypass learning, plagiarize, or misrepresent your own work undermines the educational process and may result in disciplinary action. Guiding Principle Use AI as a tool for thought—not a substitute for it. If you are ever uncertain about what constitutes acceptable use, please ask. Open conversation is encouraged.
