Adherence to Academic Integrity
At Marian University, all students are called to uphold academic integrity in all their academic endeavors, including the responsible use of AI tools, reflecting both the institution’s commitment to intellectual and moral integrity and its foundational Franciscan values. View the Academic Integrity policy here.
Student Expectations
Students are expected to exemplify honesty, honor, and respect for the truth, demonstrating their intellectual and moral integrity as outlined in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. By embodying these responsibilities, students contribute to a just and flourishing academic community. These guiding principles can be a tool to better understand the use of AI in your coursework. When in doubt, ask your instructor before using AI.
Support for Instructors
- Outlining Expectations: Instructors are encouraged to clarify and communicate expectations about acceptable uses of AI to their students, keeping the academic integrity syllabus statement in mind. This Scenario-Based AI Guide is a great tool to use when discussing AI with students.
- Including a Syllabus Statement: In addition, faculty should include their own AI-specific syllabus statement and may use these examples as a guide.
- Handling of Violations: As outlined in the code of student rights and responsibilities, instructors handle minor violations of academic integrity involving AI, but must notify the student of a violation in writing within one week of discovering the violation.
- Detecting Violations: This AI Detection guide provides recommendations on how to proceed with a suspected violation. Involvement of the Academic Integrity Panel (AIP) is appropriate in more complex or serious violations.
