2. Why Check This Policy

IU's central resources acknowledge that consistent campus rules are limited, so the practical policy is often created in the course. Students need to check whether AI is treated as collaboration, a source requiring credit, or prohibited assistance.

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

Any use that an instructor, school, or program explicitly prohibits.

Always check your course syllabus for specific restrictions.

5. Disclosure Requirements

Depends on course.

IU's central resources acknowledge that consistent campus rules are limited, so the practical policy is often created in the course.

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.
