Our AI Policies
- Writing Center tutors ask clients to disclose how they have used GenAI and what their assignment guidelines say about it to promote productive and ethical use of the tools.
- If a client is required to verify their use of AI, Writing Center tutors describe how they used GenAI writing assistance during a tutoring session, via reporting slip or email to professor.
- The Writing Center helps students understand and abide by their professors’ guidelines and policies regarding GenAI.
- For more details, see the First-Year Writing Program & Writing Center Joint Position Statement on AI
