2. Why Check This Policy
UNC’s School of Nursing demonstrates how detailed a local rule can become: faculty may prohibit AI entirely or permit selected uses, but permitted use can require source verification, attribution, and a separate work statement. Because a missing statement may be treated as an assertion that no AI was used, students should not rely on general campus guidance alone.
3. When AI Is Commonly Allowed
Uses that are allowed with disclosure, attribution, or citation.
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; some schools require detailed process disclosure.
UNC’s School of Nursing demonstrates how detailed a local rule can become: faculty may prohibit AI entirely or permit selected uses, but permitted use can require source verification, attribution, and a separate work statement.
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.
