[COURSE NAME] – Policy on Generative AI

Purpose
This course is designed to build your own skills. These rules explain when you may use generative AI tools (such as chatbots, AI writing assistants, and AI features in grammar tools) and how to use them honestly.

What is allowed
You may use AI tools only for brainstorming topics, explaining concepts, and checking grammar and spelling. You may not use AI to write, rewrite, or summarize text that you submit as your own.

Disclosure
If you use AI in any way this policy allows, add a short note at the end of your work saying which tool you used, what you used it for, and how you checked or changed its output. Honest disclosure will never lower your grade by itself.

Showing your process
For major assignments, you may be asked to submit drafts, version history, or a writing record, or to talk with me about your work. Please write in a tool that keeps version history, such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word saved to the cloud.

About AI detectors
AI detectors can be wrong. A detector result may prompt a conversation, but it will never be the only basis for any finding.

If there is a concern
I will talk with you privately first and give you a chance to show how you completed the work. Concerns that cannot be resolved will follow the school's academic integrity process, which includes your right to respond and appeal.

Questions
If you are not sure whether a use of AI is allowed, ask me before you submit. Asking is always the right choice.

What a strong course AI policy covers

  • Why the policy exists: the skills the course is meant to build
  • Which uses of AI are allowed, if any, stated as specific tasks
  • How students should disclose any AI use
  • What process evidence you may ask for, such as drafts or version history
  • How you will (and won’t) use AI detectors
  • What happens if there is a concern, including the student’s chance to respond
  • Who to ask when something isn’t clear

Choosing an approach

There are three common approaches. “Not allowed” is clearest for courses built around unassisted writing or exams, but it is hard to enforce and needs a fair process for concerns. “Specific tasks only” lets students use AI for things like brainstorming or grammar while keeping the writing their own; it works well when you list examples. “Allowed with disclosure” fits courses where AI is part of the subject or the workplace skills you are teaching.

Tips for making it work

  • Put the policy in your syllabus and repeat the key line on each major assignment
  • Talk it through in the first week, with examples of allowed and not-allowed uses
  • Tell students which tools keep version history, so they can show their process
  • Make sure it fits your school’s own policy and academic integrity process
  • Revisit it each term: tools and expectations change quickly

A note on AI detectors

Detectors can flag honest work, and research has found higher false positive rates for some groups, including non-native English writers. If you use one, treat a score as a reason for a conversation, never as the only evidence.
