2. Why Check This Policy

CWRU does not leave unauthorized AI implicit: it names it as an academic-integrity violation. The medical school and individual syllabi may define narrower approved uses, so students need explicit permission rather than assumptions.

3. When AI Is Commonly Allowed

The source data does not specify concrete allowed uses beyond course- or instructor-level permission.

Check primary source.

Only if your instructor allows it for the specific assignment.

4. When AI Is Commonly Restricted

The source data does not list concrete prohibited uses beyond unauthorized or out-of-scope AI use.

Check primary source.

Always check your course syllabus for specific restrictions.

5. Disclosure Requirements

Depends; attribution required where permitted.

Disclosure depends on the course, school, or assignment rule. If AI use is allowed, instructors may still require attribution or a statement of use.

Where AI use is permitted, disclosure usually takes one of these forms:

  • A statement or acknowledgement in your submission
  • A citation of the AI tool, in the format your course requires
  • A short methods note describing how AI was used

Follow the exact format your instructor or department requires.
