Research assignments: When conducting research (whether as a stand-alone assignment or in preparation to distill the research in a writing assignment, presentation, or creative artifact), students may use tools that support their engagement with and evaluation of the information for the research at hand. Use of these tools must involve the appropriate acknowledgments and citations while adhering to the guidelines specified by the course instructor and the assignment instructions.

Assessments: On assessments (such as quizzes, tests, and exams), students may not use tools that read their screens, summarize content, or generate content.

Writing assignments and presentations: On writing assignments (such as reviews, discussion posts, essays, research papers, etc.) and presentations (such as a speech or presentation), students may not use tools that generate content such as outlines, bibliographies, summaries, prose, or creative writing. Students may use tools that suggest corrections to spelling and grammar; however, phrasing suggestions of more than a couple of words in tools such as Grammarly might be flagged in AI detection programs.

Artistic or technical productions: On assignments requiring students to produce a design (creative, graphic, visual, technical plans, code, programs), students may not use tools that produce all or part of the design on their behalf.

Information synthesis assignments: On reading and listening assignments (such as required reading, online discussions, and required lectures), students may not use AI tools to summarize audio, video, or textual material to reduce their academic engagement with the learning activity substantially.

Research assignments: When conducting research (whether as a stand-alone assignment or in preparation to distill the research in a writing assignment, presentation, or creative artifact), students may not use tools that substantially reduce engagement with sources and evaluation of the information for the research at hand.
