[FACULTY DIRECTIONS: List individual course/instructor policies here. Below, you must select one of three AI policies for your course and remove what is not needed. Additionally, you may include details about Zoom usage for excused absences, cell phone use, laboratory safety, etc. Also, though the university is now 'non-attendance-taking', instructors are permitted to have their own class participation expectations and enforce consequences for lack of participation (i.e. administrative withdraw for excessive absence). Sample language is provided. Append as needed to match school or program expectations. ONCE COMPLETE, DELETE THESE BRACKETED DIRECTIONS.]

Participation/Excessive Absence
If a student is excessively absent (more than two weeks), the instructor may submit a request to the Registrar’s Office to have the student administratively withdrawn from the course. The date of the instructor's request will be used to process a withdraw. Administrative withdraws are final. The student will not be eligible for re-enrollment in the same course section. 

Using Generative AI
Generative AI tools do not “think” like humans, can offer inaccurate responses to prompts, and should not be trusted without follow-up research. The AI tool is not “the author” of its output. AI-generated output contains no original work or ideas. These tools draw exclusively on content generated by authors who were the creators of original work, but whose identities and qualifications have been lost. The use of AI tools cannot replace academic study, critical thinking, and problem-solving that students need to do themselves to develop effective academic and life skills.   

Restrictive Policy
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot replace academic study, critical thinking, and problem-solving that students need to complete the learning objectives for this course. For this reason, AI-assisted writing systems (including but not limited to ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing/Copilot, etc.) may not be used in this course and will be considered cheating under the university's Academic Honesty Policy.

Limited or Mixed-use Policy
In this course, limited use of artificial intelligence (AI) for grammar correction, rephrasing sentences, brainstorming, and other things specified by the instructor may be permissible in some assignments. However, there may be other assignments where AI technology will be disallowed. Pay close attention to instructor guidance regarding the permissibility of generative AI technology for each assignment in this course. Failure to properly cite the use of AI, or use AI in assignments where is has been disallowed, will be considered cheating under the university's Academic Honesty Policy.

Permissive Policy
In this course, artificial intelligence (AI) technology may be used to maximize student productivity in assignments for this course. However, the use of these technologies should be properly referenced within the assignment. Failure to properly cite the use of AI, or use AI in assignments where is has been disallowed, will be considered cheating under the university's Academic Honesty Policy.

Videoconferencing
In this course, videoconference technology may be used for live delivery of regularly scheduled instructional hours on an occasional basis, such as during a weather or other emergency campus closure. Students will connect to this technology through Zoom.

If a student has an excused absence but can attend the regularly scheduled class in real time, the instructor may allow the student to participate remotely through Zoom. This is at the discretion of the instructor and is only intended for individual, short-term, approved absences.
