Champlain College Academic Honesty Policy “Online submission of, or placing one’s name on, an exam, assignment, or any course document is a statement of academic honor that the student has not received or given inappropriate assistance in completing it and that the student has complied with the Academic Honesty Policy in that work. Contributing to or obtaining material from an online assignment repository is considered a violation of academic honesty that can result in disciplinary action.”

“Consider placing a statement in your syllabus or on assignments that explicitly stipulates that the use of AI technologies to generate text is not allowed and will be treated as an academic integrity violation.

Talk to your students about AI text-generating technologies and the importance of doing their own work. Discuss how the writing process nurtures skills and abilities that are necessary to their employability and success after graduation.
Use the free detection tools that are becoming available and inform students that detection tools will be evolving right along with AI technologies. Note that these are not 100% reliable but can be useful. Currently, Safe Assign and TurnItIn cannot detect AI-generated work.”
