With your instructor's express permission:
- If you use AI/ChatGTP to help you brainstorm topics or make stylistic improvements, then this must be acknowledged in your assignment.
- If you use AI/ChatGPT to generate content for your assignment (such as anything you quote or paraphrase), then you must cite it like any other source.
You will need to include details about the tool you used, your prompt, as well as a shareable link to your chat transcript. For full instructions on how to cite the use of AI/ChatGPT in either MLA or APA format, please consult our Citation Guide (under the sections labeled Generative AI).
The use of AI/ChatGPT for coursework is highly controversial and often deeply discouraged. Your default assumption should be that it is NOT ALLOWED. However, some instructors (at their own discretion) may permit students limited use under specific circumstances. If you have any doubts whatsoever about using AI/ChatGPT, please ask your instructor beforehand!
Note: Unpermitted use of AI/ChatGPT is considered cheating and plagiarism (thus, academic misconduct) and you may be subject to disciplinary sanction as a result.
