AI Academic Integrity Policies: Writing Rules Students Can Actually Follow

AI can draft an AI academic integrity policy that distinguishes permitted assistance from unauthorized substitution and requires consistent disclosure.

What AI does well here

• Produce concrete examples of permitted versus prohibited AI use for common assignment types
• Draft a one-paragraph student-facing disclosure template

What AI cannot do

• Decide whether a specific student work crossed the line
• Replace the academic judgment of the instructor of record

Practice this safely

Use a real but low-risk workflow from your day. Treat AI as a drafting and organizing layer, then verify the output before anyone relies on it.

1. 1Ask AI to explain academic integrity in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
2. 2Give it one detail from "AI Academic Integrity Policies: Writing Rules Students Can Actually Follow" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
3. 3Check permitted use against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
