As a preeminent and inclusive student-focused research institution, Syracuse University places academic integrity at the forefront of learning and considers it a core value and guiding pillar of education. The University’s Academic Integrity Policy provides guidelines for completing academic work with integrity. Students are required to meet both course-specific and Universitywide academic integrity expectations, such as crediting your sources, doing your own work, communicating honestly and supporting academic integrity.
Upholding academic integrity includes the protection of faculty intellectual property. Students should not upload, distribute or share an instructor’s course materials, including presentations, assignments, exams or other evaluative materials, without permission. Using websites that charge fees or require uploading of course material (e.g., Chegg, Course Hero) to obtain exam solutions or assignments completed by others and presenting them as your own violates academic integrity expectations in this course and may be classified as a Level 3 violation.
All academic integrity expectations that apply to in-person assignments, quizzes and exams also apply online. Students found in violation of the policy are subject to grade sanctions determined by the course instructor and non-grade sanctions determined by the school or college offering the course. Students may not drop or withdraw from courses in which they face a suspected violation. Any established violation in this course may result in course failure regardless of violation level.
[Each instructor has to choose one of the following three artificial intelligence options and include only the selected one].
Artificial Intelligence Statement (choose one)
Option 1: Zero Tolerance for Artificial Intelligence Use
All generative AI tools are prohibited in this course because their use inhibits achievement of the course learning objectives. This policy applies to all stages of project and writing processes including researching, brainstorming, outlining, organizing and polishing. Do not use generative AI tools to create any content (i.e., images and video, audio, text, code, etc.).
Option 2: Limited and Specified Artificial Intelligence Use
Based on the specific learning outcomes and assignments in this course, artificial intelligence is permitted on the following: [insert specific assignment, quiz or exam names or permitted source-based AI tools (e.g., Grammarly) here]. See each assignment, quiz or exam instructions for more information about which artificial intelligence tools are permitted and to what extent, as well as citation requirements. If no instructions are provided for a specific assignment, then no use of any artificial intelligence tool is permitted. Any AI use beyond what is detailed in course assignments is explicitly prohibited except when documented permission is granted.
Option 3: Full Use with Disclosure and Citation
Based on the assignments and specified learning outcomes, the full use of artificial intelligence as a tool, with disclosure and citation, is permitted in this course.
Academic Integrity Online
All academic integrity expectations that apply to in-person quizzes and exams also apply to online quizzes and exams. In this course, all work submitted for quizzes and exams must be yours alone. Discussing quiz or exam questions with anyone during the quiz or exam period violates academic integrity expectations for this course.”
Using websites that charge fees or require uploading of course material (e.g., Chegg, Course Hero) to obtain exam solutions or assignments completed by others and present the work as your own violates academic integrity expectations in this course and may be classified as a Level 3 violation, resulting in suspension or expulsion from Syracuse University.”
Instructor Use of AI
[If instructors plan to use AI in their course, they may wish to include the following clause. If not they should feel free to remove it].
I, as the instructor, may use generative AI tools to help develop course materials such as (e.g. discussion prompts, practice problems or assignment ideas). When I do, I take full responsibility for reviewing and verifying all AI-generated content to ensure it is accurate, appropriate and aligned with our learning objectives. All final course materials represent my professional judgment about what will best support your learning.
