LibGuides: NU Faculty Resources Guide: AI and Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity Policy on Artificial Intelligence

The National University Catalog specifies that students are responsible for the integrity of the work they submit and must give credit for any information that is not either the result of original research or common knowledge.

NU students are permitted to utilize available tools to learn and apply the material in their courses and prepare for exams, assignments, and papers unless otherwise directed in individual courses, programs, or schools. Tools include those associated with generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Students who submit AI-generated work as their own are committing plagiarism. Failure to submit original work, cite sources according to disciplinary standards (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, Bluebook), and confirm the validity of the content represents academic dishonesty and is subject to the Student Code of Conduct.

NU Student–Faculty Generative AI Usage Guidelines

Student-Faculty AI Usage Guidelines
NU encourages faculty and students to embrace the innovative use of Artificial Intelligence to enhance the educational experience. The NU Student-Faculty AI Usage Guidelines aim to facilitate the responsible and ethical use of AI in the classroom.

AI Detection Tools

Note on AI detection tools: The Artificial Intelligence (AI) detection software tool in Turnitin (and other AI detectors) is unreliable. The score alone is not an indication that AI was used to create the writing and can not be used to charge a student with an Academic Integrity Violation (AIV). In addition, submitting student work to external plagiarism detectors puts students' data at risk and should not be used.
