Generative AI Policy for Students
Notre Dame recognizes that GenAI can support education by helping students think through ideas, make study guides or practice problems, and understand difficult concepts.
However, using AI “as a substitute for genuine engagement, or to circumvent the necessary intellectual challenges of your coursework, runs counter to the heart of education itself.学习理由Learning rationale” Students should distinguish between supplementing education and replacing it.分级许可Tiered scale
The policy states:
“Representing work that you did not produce as your own, including work generated or materially modified by AI, constitutes academic dishonesty.违规定性Integrity framing摘录Excerpt”
Using GenAI contrary to an instructor’s stated policy, or using it to complete coursework in a way not expressly permitted by the instructor, violates the Honor Code.默认规则Default rule课程规则优先Instructor override
University AI principles
Notre Dame’s broader guidance says AI-generated content may be biased, inaccurate, fabricated, or contain copyrighted or proprietary information, so thorough human review is required before use.知识产权IP & copyright核实责任Verification duty AI use in university research, scholarship, or work should be clearly documented and disclosed.披露要求Disclosure
A later policy clarification notes that AI editing tools such as Grammarly and WordTune also generate text. If an instructor prohibits GenAI, that prohibition includes such editing tools unless explicitly stated otherwise.

High-school adaptation takeaways
- Define ethical use as supplementing learning rather than replacing engagement and intellectual effort.
- Cover material that is “materially modified” by AI, not only fully generated submissions.
- Explain whether AI-powered editing tools are included in an assignment’s rule.
- Require students to review outputs for bias, falsehoods, copyright issues, and proprietary information.
