Optional — these appear at the top of the statement. Skip them to fill in later.

2Add your letterhead and logo

This sits at the top of the downloaded file, like official department stationery. Your logo stays on this computer.

3How much AI is allowed?

Pick one, then fill in any blank that appears. This is the heart of your policy.

4Which assignments may AI be used for?

Tick everything your choice above applies to. Options with ___ let you type your own wording. Exams and in-class work are always AI-free — the statement says so automatically.

5What help is always okay?

These are uses you will never count against a student. Leave everything unticked to allow none of them.

6What must students do when they use AI?

The honesty rules. If you pick the disclosure rule, the statement includes a fill-in-the-blank example note students can copy.

7What happens if the policy is broken?

Pick one. Check your institution's own academic-integrity rules — some of these options may need to go through a formal office.

8Anything else you want to add?

Optional. Whatever you type here is added as its own section near the end.

AI Integrity Statement — [Course name & number]

How you may use AI in this course

You may use generative AI tools to explore and develop your ideas: brainstorming topics, testing thesis statements, asking questions to understand the material, or finding angles you had not considered. However, every sentence you submit must be written by you — [how much, e.g. 100%] of your final text must be your own words. AI output may never appear in your drafts, outlines, or final text.



Where it applies

This policy applies to: Homework and problem sets; Discussion board posts; Outlines, notes and rough drafts. Exams, quizzes and other in-class, supervised work are always AI-free unless I say otherwise in writing.



Help that is always okay

The following kinds of help are always acceptable under this policy:

• Fixing grammar, spelling and typos
• Brainstorming topics and thesis ideas



Your responsibilities when using AI

Whenever AI is used within these limits, you must:

• Include a short AI-use note with every affected submission
• Double-check every fact, quote and source AI gives you
• Never paste course materials, unpublished drafts or other students' work into an AI tool



If this policy is broken

If work submitted in this course appears to violate this policy, I will talk with you before deciding anything. Outcomes range from a warning to a zero to a formal referral, depending on what we find together.



Example disclosure note (you may copy this wording):

AI use disclosure — [assignment name]
Tool used: [tool name and version]
How I used it: [e.g. "brainstormed five possible thesis statements", "suggested grammar fixes on my final draft"]
What is entirely my own: [e.g. "the argument, structure, evidence and all final wording"]



A closing word

If you are ever unsure whether a use of AI is allowed, ask me first — asking is never a violation. This statement may be updated during the term, and I will always announce changes in class.
