Regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The use of AI tools in the classroom, such as text generators, is welcomed to help students improve their writing skills and understand the importance of originality and academic integrity (e.g., brainstorm writing ideas, outline a topic, suggest improvements for grammar). However, it is important that students understand the proper use of these tools and the consequences of misusing them.

Unless students have permission from the course instructor or it is part of a course assignment, they are prohibited from using AI tools to generate entire assignments or portions of assignments. Violations include, but are not limited to, using text or art generators to produce essays, research papers, other written assignments and works of art.Work generated by AI tools with the course instructor's permission should be submitted properly with attribution.

Any student found to have submitted work that has been generated by an AI tool without proper attribution will be subject to penalties as described in the University's Academic Honesty policy.

It is the responsibility of every student to understand and abide by this policy. Ignorance of the policy will not be accepted as a valid excuse for academic misconduct.

If students have concerns about plagiarism or questions about how to avoid it and properly cite items used in their work, please reach out to Dominican’s Student Success Center and the Archbishop Alemany Library.
