General guidance provided for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) sites:

• Academic integrity is a core value. For this reason, the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) sites, (for example, but not only Chat GPT) to complete an assignment or exam is not permitted unless a Core Instructor has provided clear written instruction about the use of generative AI.
• Use of generative AI to complete an assignment or exam without written instruction from the Core faculty will be regarded as the same as receiving unauthorized assistance from another person and can be reported as an academic integrity violation.
• Where the use of AI is permitted, you should stick to the guidelines provided by the instructor. Under no circumstance can you submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. AI generated material should be cited like any other reference material using the APA or MLA guidelines.
• If unsure about policies on using generative AI, clarify with your instructor.
