Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from the Bay Area this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Faculty engaged in AI learning and policy development, including at multiple colleges’ Librarians curating resources/on Senate AI task forces with other discipline faculty including many Distance Education/Instructional Design/ZTC/OER faculty and staff, as well as faculty from ICT/DM, Business, Comms, Engineering. In some cases AI discussion is led by student clubs and student journalism!
- Learning: Faculty and staff are not reinventing the wheel. Adapting from 2-year & 4-year early adopters in gathering teaching & learning, as well as policy resources, particularly those shared at the California Online Teaching conference.
- Language: Developmental pattern appears to be: syllabus based/existing academic integrity policy to AI policy. SJCC (syllabus), Foothill (draft) & West Valley “AI use range”, & DVC provide potential examples. SMCCCD mini conference is a PD model, robustly developed by their PD team, primarily BIPOC faculty and staff in the Distance Ed/Instructional Design teams.
- Lessons: Several colleges might need intentional and curated support with resources, while others can likely provide exemplars and/or peer to peer support, particularly important to support/resource multi-college districts and their College and District Senates.
Curated resources
- Really neat human-centered, inclusive resources shared by the colleges are linked, and in some cases 2-year college generated content

- Appears to be set by each faculty member: AP 5500
- Appears to be included in Academic Integrity. “Academic Integrity Reporting Academic honesty depends upon the integrity of the students and faculty. The College itself is defrauded if faculty and/or students knowingly or unwittingly allow dishonest acts to be rewarded academically. It is the faculty's responsibility to make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct. If the faculty member believes that there is evidence of academic dishonesty on the part of a student it is the faculty member's responsibility to take appropriate action in accordance with the academic honesty procedures. Use this form to report a violation of Gavilan's Academic Honesty Policy (cheating, plagiarism, use of AI, etc.) that has occurred in the classroom or anywhere else.”

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
Curated resources
- NFN colleges provide some neat learning, including examples and innovations to potentially elevate:
- Leadership includes early adopters within Library Faculty and Instructional Design teams in collaboration with discipline faculty. Again as some campuses students are also leading the way. NFN emerges as first region with multiple accessibility faculty and staff engaged at multiple colleges (Butte, CoS, FRC, etc) leading/working on AI and accessibility
- Learning, particularly, library guides and PD workshops are most prevalent. Some very interesting use of CO AI series, CVC-OEI PD as well as Instructional Design units and 2 and 4-year models to avoid reinventing the wheel. With respect to AI courses, Ed2Go appears to be providing early access for students. However, some colleges have no or low PD resources available and could benefit from PD support.
- Language are beginning to be discussed/envisioned, with strong reliance on existing student codes of conduct and ongoing faculty and staff work on development of syllabi language. Appears to follow similar cadence to other regions, code of conduct, professor-by-professor approach within syllabi, and then more systematic consideration of a policy. Exemplars include: CoR, CoS, and FRC.
- Of particular notepad interest for the NFN region:
- ARC AI Basics for Refugees
- Butte TMI department (Technology Mediated Instruction)
- CoR Syllabus with Range of AI Approaches Phil 15, Soc 1
- CoS Empowering Rural Education: Generative AI and Student-Centered Learning at College of the Siskiyous

- Academic Senate Sample Syllabus policies: [“There is no official CR policy on AI use. It is up to the instructor how they would like to address AI use in their courses. Below are three sample policies for you to consider, adapt, or delete”.] Three Approaches
- NO AI: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. However, overuse of these tools in this class can undermine your learning and curtail the development of your critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, the policy of this class is that AI cannot be used at any point in the completion of class assignments, including discussion posts. Any or all of your assignment submissions and discussion posts may be screened by AI detection software, but the real penalty for AI misuse is that you will miss out on an opportunity to learn.
- Per Assignment: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. Sometimes, using these tools appropriately can help us overcome barriers and allow us to focus on deeper learning. However, overuse of these tools can undermine the development of our critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, it is sometimes appropriate and sometimes inappropriate to use generative AI in the completion of assignments or in discussion posts. For this class, please see the specific assignment instructions for guidance on how and when generative AI tools may be used appropriately as we're working on and learning from a particular assignment. Also, please keep in mind that you are responsible for anything you submit; please carefully review all AI-generated outputs, screening them for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.
- Liberal AI: Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard, are likely to be widely used in the workplace moving forward. It's important for you to understand how to use them ethically and effectively. For that reason, in this class, you will sometimes be invited to use such a tool in the completion of an assignment. In this class, using generative AI tools is not cheating if the outputs are screened by you for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.

- Range from NO AI, by assignment AI, or AI okay.
- Per library:
- Special note to students: your best practice will be to check-in with your instructors about class policy around AI use. Currently, there is no campus-wide policy for AI use in the classroom, but faculty are aware of the issues and CR is encouraging instructors to include AI use policies in the syllabus. There will be quite a bit of variability in how faculty do or don't incorporate AI into coursework. What is okay in one class may not be in another class.
- Relies on current academic integrity policy, per professor. CoR faculty syllabus language models include a spectrum of AI inclusion and explicitly allowance for certain assignments to all assignments with citation and warning:

- March 2024 Senate moved to adopt AI below Use with the following rationale:
- Students: Students will be increasingly using AI in various areas of their lives, so it is not reasonable to demand students forgo its use in their classes. It would be better to guide how it is used rather than banning its use. We have opportunities to model appropriate use in our courses.
- Vision 2030: AI is a priority in California’s Vision 2030.

- Three option approach: No, by assignment, or okay
- “The bottom line is that students and faculty may use AI tools at COS, but they are still fully responsible for adhering to all regulations and policies. The best advice for students when using AI tools is to err on the side of caution and adopt an “ask first” stance.”
- Acknowledgments: The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI) served as the primary model for this AI policy.

- “Artificial Intelligence Absent a clear statement from a course instructor, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated the same as assistance from another person. In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted. Students should acknowledge the use of generative AI (other than incidental use) and default to disclosing such assistance when in doubt. Individual course instructors are free to set their own policies regulating the use of generative AI tools in their courses, including allowing or disallowing some or all use of such tools.
- Course instructors should set such policies in their course syllabi and clearly communicate such policies to students. Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification.”

- The policy will be comprehensive and inclusive of all disciplines, recognizing that AI is impacting every field.
- Relevant policies aligning with this new AI-related policy should include academic integrity, data privacy, technology use, ethical AI guidelines, curriculum and teaching policies, and equity and accessibility frameworks. These policies ensure responsible AI integration across disciplines, addressing ethical use, fairness, transparency, security, and inclusion in education.

- Not yet. Appear to rely on student code of conduct and faculty-by-faculty approach
- “SCC faculty (and district-wide) have so far been left on their own to address AI tools on a class-by-class individual basis. Over the last three and half semesters, many cobbled together their own class policies and added them to their syllabi. While use of AI, both positive and negative, can pose very different concerns from one academic program to another, to our knowledge, no individual program has created their own departmental policy. There are some faculty who have embraced AI, from allowing its limited use in specific assignments to fully integrating AI as a teaching tool. There are likely many faculty who have attempted to fully prohibit it only to find that an increasing number of students are ignoring class policy and using it regardless.“

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Similar to BA, NFN, differentiated college community approaches, senate, and faculty/staff engagement, again library faculty and staff, distance education, DSPS, instructional designers (where present), academic technology, and discipline faculty are engaged within many communities
- Learning: Multiple colleges have nourished process with development of PD/learning resources for students and faculty alike, intentional support is also requested and could support those colleges earlier in the process. Supporting peer to peer connection, particularly for early-in-process and/or stuck-in-process might be most welcome, especially peers and exemplars
- Language: Policies are underway in many communities, again developmental process appears to be use of academic integrity by each professor towards college senate development of guiding syllabus language to adopted policy.

Policy
Team/Lead: Bakersfield College
- AI appears to have been added to academic integrity
- “Using generative artificial intelligence (generative artificial intelligence) tools threatens the integrity of students’ work, and therefore the value of the student’s education. BC expects students to not use generative artificial intelligence tools to generate answers unless students have been explicitly told that they may. Use of generative artificial intelligence tools can constitute a number of forms of academic misconduct. It could be:
- plagiarism (because you are relying on a source that you have not identified)
- commissioning (because you are relying on work produced by another person - the company who owns the AI software)
- fabrication (if the AI makes up data or experiences that you then rely on)
- In the context of online exams, use of generative artificial intelligence will be treated as cheating. BC assumes that, by submitting a piece of work, students are representing that work as their own and not the product of generative artificial intelligence use or others. BC reserves the right to treat generative artificial intelligence use as a violation of the Standards of Student Conduct.
- If a student is not clear about the expectations for completing an assignment or taking a test, be sure to seek clarification from the instructor beforehand. For more assistance in your writing, the BC Writing Center is available to support work and guide you through the writing process.
- Sample syllabus language
- Cheating, generative artificial intelligence, fabricating, or falsifying information or sources, improper collaboration, submitting the same paper for different classes without permission, and plagiarism are all forms of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism occurs when writers and speakers deliberately or unintentionally use another person's language, ideas, or materials and present them as their own without properly acknowledging and citing the source. Academic dishonesty and/or plagiarism in this course will result in one or more of the following consequences: failure of the assignment, and referral to the Dean of Students. In this course, most often, your instructor will require oral citation of paraphrased material. Cite sources carefully, completely, and meticulously; when in doubt, cite. Familiarize yourself with the Standards of Student Conduct (KCCD Board Policy 5500) and BC definitions of plagiarism and cheating.

- Yes, as part of Academic Integrity for students. Individual course instructors have the authority to set their own policies regulating the use of such tools in their courses.
- “Generative AI
- Absent a clear statement from a course instructor, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated analogously to assistance from another person. In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted.
- Students should acknowledge the use of generative AI to develop any content of an assignment and should default to disclosing such assistance when in doubt.
- Individual course instructors have the authority to set their own policies regulating the use of generative AI tools in their courses, including allowing or disallowing some or all uses of such tools.
- Such policies will be identified in the course syllabus and clearly communicated to students in their course orientation materials.
- Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification. Students determined to be using generative AI tools inconsistently with the course syllabus will be subject to the college’s student conduct policy.”

- Library faculty created AI guide for students
- Many departments are collaborating in an academic senate ad hoc on AI policy, including participants from English, Communications, Geology, Philosophy, Computer Science, Art, Chemistry, and Information Systems
- Last year a senate ad hoc committee was created and folks joined based on interest.
- The ad hoc committee developed the language concerning cheating and plagiarism which is currently in our college catalog; it is currently thinking of revising that language (removing it from the plagiarism section) and expanding the scope of the policy to cover acceptable uses for both faculty and students.
- The committee is also planning to run a faculty survey to gain insight on how AI is used and perceived around campus. Future projects may involve AI workshops, though several Clovis faculty run workshops at other campuses in our district

- Statement of Educational Technology Committee on AI policies in your classes
- The College of the Sequoias’ Board Policy 5500: Standards of Conduct, #13 states: “Cheating, plagiarism (including plagiarism in a student publication), or engaging in other academic dishonesty. Plagiarism means presenting other people’s words or ideas as one’s own. It may include, but is not limited to, submitting material taken from the web or elsewhere as original work; failing to provide complete citations and references for all work that draws on the ideas, words, or work of others; or failing to identify the contributors to work done in collaboration.”
- With the increasing use and access to generative AI tools, both in classes, work, and private lives, some faculty have asked for guidance on how to respond to this new technology, and if the college needs a new policy. It is the opinion of the Ed Tech Committee that our Board Policy already addresses this new technology in BP5500.

- Not yet found. Appears to rely on Student Code of Conduct academic integrity and preventing acts of academic dishonesty denoting faculty-by-faculty role:
- Option One: Compton College is dedicated to maintaining an optimal learning environment that thrives upon academic honesty. To uphold the academic integrity of the institution, all members of our academic community, faculty, staff, and students alike, must assume responsibility for providing an educational environment of the highest standards characterized by a spirit of academic honesty. It is the responsibility of all members of the Compton College academic community to behave in a manner which encourages learning, promotes honesty, and acts with fairness toward others. For more information, please refer to your College Catalog or Compton Community College District Board Policy 5500.
- Option Two: Compton College places a high value on the integrity of its student scholars. Therefore, the Compton College policy on academic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. Academic dishonesty encompasses both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes obtaining, attempting to obtain, or assisting to obtain academic credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Plagiarism involves submitting the works of others as your own and includes improper source citation, no source citation, using materials prepared by another student, and using fictitious sources. The penalties for academic dishonesty range from receiving an "F" on the assignment or exam to receiving an "F" in the course and may be reported to the appropriate campus authorities.

- Confirm with your course coordinator or check your course syllabus before using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your assessment. Some instructors do not permit the use of AI tools, while others may allow AI with some limitations.
- Any permitted use of AI for assessment must be acknowledged appropriately. Your course instructor will provide guidance on how to reference the use of AI tools. Some possible examples include:
- Citing or referencing in the text or list of references
- Inclusion in your methodology
- An appendix including a full transcript of any prompts and AI-generated responses.
- Sample AI Policies by Course/Discipline
- June 2024 Nursing Program
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure the academic integrity and originality of writing assignments, while also allowing students to use AI tools to enhance the learning experience. Faculty will set expectations for the use of AI in their specific assignments including explicit direction as to when students cannot use AI. In general, students may utilize generative AI as a tool, resource, or consultant and not as a replacement for their own knowledge synthesis, reasoning, or self-reflection.
- Students are expected to adhere to the following:
- If generative AI is used for an assignment, it must be appropriately cited.
- Students are responsible for any inaccurate, biased, offensive, or otherwise unethical content they submit regardless of whether they personally authored it or used AI software to generate the content.
- Students may not create H&Ps or patient care documentation within the authentic clinical environment using artificial intelligence applications outside of those supported by the EHR (e.g., dot phrases, smart phrases, other system-generated text). Protected health information should never otherwise be used within a generative AI tool.
- Students may not copy and paste system or course session materials, presentation slides, or exam questions into AI systems consistent with copyright and intellectual property rights.
- When submitting scholarly work for publication or presentation, students must adhere to generative AI policies set forth by journals and organizations and disclose when and how these tools have been used.
- If a student is found to have inappropriately utilized generative AI, the student will be subject to the nursing program Academic Dishonesty Policy.

- Spring 2025 Syllabus Checklist
- Statement Regarding the Use of AI Programs
- Many assignments require writing, research, and/or sharing your ideas. The vast amount of information available online means that it can be hard to distinguish accurate from inaccurate sources. Websites are not always credible and sometimes reflect a biased viewpoint intended to sway the reader’s opinion. Similarly, AI tools (such as ChatGPT) may spread misinformation and falsehoods. When you do outside research, be sure to use reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journal articles, government websites, or credible news articles. All outside sources must be properly cited in APA or MLA format.
- Importantly, always share what you learn in your own words, in a way that makes sense to you and in a way that is relevant to the assignment. The use of AI to write your posts is considered plagiarism because it is not your original writing. Plagiarism-detecting software (TurnItIn) and AI-detecting software (OpenAI Detector) may be used to analyze your submissions for originality. Any evidence of plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and possible further disciplinary action.

- Survey
- Interest in AI at our campus arrived about the same time as the student bot infiltration that has plagued us since Fall 2024. There was a pronounced use of AI in online courses by students that faculty were wholly unprepared for. For the most part, the approach has been diffuse.
- The Ad Hoc Committee on AI were tasked for simply revising the Academic Integrity policy to include the use of AI by students. Once completed the committee disbanded.
- Distance Education has held some workshops regarding AI, mostly in the realm of addressing its use by students in coursework.
- LASC Distance Education Coordinator has been invited to participate in the CVC-OEI AI Train-the-Trainer Community of Practice for Spring 2025.
- LASC Professional Development Committee organized a series of workshops based around the book, Teaching with AI by Bowen and Watson, kicking it off with a personalized workshop led by author Watson. The series was poorly attended.
- The intent is to establish an AI CoP at LASC by Fall 2025 involving faculty, staff, students and admin to develop a foundation for creating a comprehensive approach to AI at LASC.
- LACCD, our campus also has access to district-level training and workships on AI; these are more robust and address faculty and how they can use AI in their workflows in areas like assessment revisions, rubric creation, humanizing course content, and AI prompt engineering.

- LAVC Library guidance in the absence of an AI policy:
- Generative Artificial Intelligence for Students
- “Best Bet: Until Valley College and the LACCD come up with comprehensive guidelines regarding student use of AI tools, your best bet for knowing when to use AI for college (and how to cite it) is to simply ask your instructor. Many instructors are now including AI guidelines in their syllabus, but if you don't see it there, you can always ask your instructor directly.
- If you have been falsely accused of cheating with AI, please refer to the information here.
- Keep in mind, as with all things related to AI, the norms and conventions for citing AI-generated content are likely to evolve over the next few years. For now, some of the major style guides have released preliminary guidelines, which we will outline below.”
- Artificial Intelligence Toolkit for Faculty advises Faculty:
- “Establishing Policies
- Faculty may decide when and how to permit student use of AI in classwork. Your best bet is to establish clear policies upfront that your students can easily locate in your syllabus and in Canvas. Policies range from outright bans of the technologies to those that allow and even encourage AI usage. For example, the University of Delaware offers four possible approaches to student use of these tools (and each approach may be context-specific):
- Prohibit all use of these tools
- Allow their use only with prior permission
- Allow their use only with explicit acknowledgment
- Freely allow their use
- The Eberly Center at Carnegie Mellon University offers some additional examples of syllabus language for your consideration.

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Some regional models included tri-chair or beyond shared leadership, including adapting existing OER, Distance Education, and/or Instructional Technology shared governance to include development of AI policy and practice resources, models include Cypress, Fullerton, Goldenwest, IVC, Santiago Canyon.
- Learning: As need for AI policy within syllabi and/or across the campus emerge, focus appears to be expanding beyond PD to efforts to socialize AI policy approaches to students, particularly with an eye for equity.
- Language: Emerging AI policy drafts highlight the need to support college communities and districts with development, particularly elevating college community approaches working to develop and socialize AI policies. Easy to access and digest, student-facing language is helpful! Examples might include Santiago Canyon’s effort to add AI to their academic honesty policy

- “The following can serve as a helpful template for syllabi statements or longer explanations regarding the use of AI in your courses. It is always up to each instructor to determine how and where students can use AI in their courses. It is important to state whether AI usage is allowed at all, and if so, it is helpful to provide guidelines such as these.
- Sample syllabus statement:
- While the use of Artificially Intelligent chatbots (such as ChatGPT, hereafter just “AI”) will be permitted to some degree in this course, the two most important things to remember are:
- You MUST always cite when and where you have used AI in your work.
- The work you submit, overall, must be your own, unique work. Here is a simple breakdown of what you can and cannot use AI for in this course:
- You CAN use AI to o give suggestions on how to fix your grammar or make your writing sound better;
- help you organize your work and give you suggestions on how to answer a question;
- help you create an outline or summary of your work;
- help you do research;
- help you figure out where to expand on your ideas or where your argument is weak;
- You CANNOT
- submit assignments that are primarily written by AI;
- use AI generated content in any way in the following assignments: ;
- submit AI generated summaries or outlines as your own;
- fail to properly cite where and how you used AI.
- Extended information that can be placed on Canvas, the syllabus, or elsewhere: AI is improving every day and will transform how a lot of work, especially writing and education, is done.
- Turning in an assignment that is primarily, or completely written by an AI, is not doing your own work, and in violation of academic integrity standards.
- Because of their very recent rise in popularity, I will be allowing the use of AI in this course according to the following guidelines, which have been generated using the help of ChatGPT.
- I asked it to generate guidelines for its use in a college course that includes critical thinking and edited what it gave me to help you use it while maintaining academic integrity and critical thinking:
- The use of AI generated content will be allowed on all assignments EXCEPT for . You should primarily use AI to help organize your thoughts and writing. You are highly discouraged from using them in any way for your discussion posts, however, as the primary point of the discussions is for you to get practice writing and thinking on your own.
- Any use of AI writers MUST be cited. Include which one you used, when you used it, where you have used it in your assignment, and any other relevant information. Failure to acknowledge when and where you have used them will result in a 0 on the assignment. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- Failure to meet the citation requirements in the assignments will result in a 0. This is to ensure that you are doing work on the assignment yourself, as AI cannot do this part of the assignment properly. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- AI writers are tools for expanding your understanding but should not be used as a replacement for your own critical thinking and analysis and thus should not be relied upon to do the bulk of an assignment.
- Do not trust AI and do not expect it to give you anything with real substance. You are responsible for your work, and you should double-check anything and everything it gives you.
- Use AI as a starting point for discussion and analysis. Rather than accepting its responses uncritically, use them as a jumping-off point for further exploration and critical thinking. Consider how the responses align with or challenge your existing beliefs and theories.
- Avoid relying solely on AI for answers to open-ended questions. While AI can provide useful insights, they may not be able to fully address the complexity of the issues. Use your own critical thinking skills and additional research to explore these issues in more depth.
- Finally, remember that AI writers are machine learning tools designed to simulate human conversation. They are not a substitute for human interaction or discussion. Always seek out opportunities to engage with your peers and instructors to deepen your understanding of important concepts.”

- During our class, we may use AI Writing tools such as ChatGPT. You will be informed as to when, where, and how these tools are permitted to be used, along with guidance for attribution. Any use outside of this permission constitutes a violation of Bryant’s Academic Honesty Policy.
- Example 1b – Some Use
- We recognize that there are a variety of AI programs available to assist writers. AI programs are not a replacement for human creativity, originality, and critical thinking. Writing is a craft that you must develop over time to develop your own individual voice as a writer. However, within limited circumstances, and with proper attribution, AI programs may be used as a tool.
- Example 2 – All Use
- AI Writing tools such as ChatGPT are welcome in this class, provided that you cite when and how you use the tool. You will be provided with examples of how to cite your use of this tool in your writing.
- Example 3 – No Use
- AI Writing tools are not permitted for any stage or phase of work in this class. If you use these tools, your actions would be considered academically dishonest and a violation of Bryant’s Academic Honesty Policy.

- AI added to academic honesty policy
- “Academic Honesty
- Students at Santiago Canyon College are expected to be honest in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one's research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is an intentional act of fraud in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work of another without authorization or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. Santiago Canyon College also considers academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, assisting or coercing other students in acts of dishonesty, or the unauthorized use of Artificial Intelligence.
- Policy for AI Tools Detection in Student Work
- At Santiago Canyon College, we recognize the importance of academic integrity and the need to deter plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct. To this end, we may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to detect the use of AI in student work. However, we must ensure that student privacy and confidentiality are protected, and therefore, we will not disclose any identifiable information within the text that we are submitting to AI.
- We acknowledge that the use of AI detection is a new and developing area, and as such, it may not always be reliable. Additionally, there are many AI tools available, and some may not be detectable by AI detection software.
- We understand that false positives can occur with AI detection, which could result in a student being accused of academic misconduct unfairly. Therefore, we will take steps to ensure that any suspicions raised by AI tools are thoroughly investigated before any action is taken. In summary, while we recognize the potential benefits of using AI tools to detect academic misconduct, we are committed to protecting student privacy and confidentiality. We will ensure that any such tools are used fairly, and we will take care to investigate any concerns raised by AI detection thoroughly.”

Team/Lead: Palomar College
- Spring 2024, Palomar College approved amendment to Administrative Procedure 5505: Academic Integrity which addresses academic honesty and includes guidelines on the use of generative AI tools.
- “TYPES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
- Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, fraud, making multiple submissions of similar work, using unauthorized artificial intelligence programs, and facilitating academic dishonesty.”
- Cheating consists of obtaining or trying to obtain, through dishonest means, credit for academic work. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- ….Using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids (e.g., textbook, artificial intelligence, web search, notes, data, images, formula list, dictionary, calculator, etc.) in student work
- Unauthorized Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as employing artificial intelligence tools, software, or systems for academic purposes without instructor authorization or in violation of institutional policies, resulting in academic dishonesty or misconduct. Examples include:
- Using AI tools to solve problems, show logic, draft texts, create multimedia objects, translate or summarize documents, all without instructor authorization.
- Artificial Intelligence Tools The faculty is free to set their own policies regulating the use of generative AI tools in their courses, including allowing or disallowing some or all uses of such tools. Faculty should set such policies in their course syllabi and clearly communicate such policies to students. Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification (Stanford University Office of Community Standards). Absent a clear statement from faculty, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated analogously to assistance from another person. In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted. Students should acknowledge the use of generative AI and default to disclosing such assistance when in doubt (Stanford University Office of Community Standards).”

- Senates
- Most of the college's academic Senate members are now having conversations; individual college PD is happening along with the districtwide PD.
- District II&E
- Purpose:
- The district II&E division has coordinated professional development for two years, with a focus on faculty.
- Survey
- II&E began with an emerging technology survey to determine what area to focus on when the division was first created (two years ago).
- Team
- This past fall, the division was built out and includes an innovation systems analyst and two part-time faculty with release time to support training, resource development, infrastructure, and support and conversations for all employees.
- This fall the teams were introduced to the academic senates at each colleges to understand better where they were in the gen AI process.
- PD Approaches:
- Gen AI Professional development, which includes workshops, open office hours, leading the AACC gen AI curriculum institution team to incorporate AI into the curriculum (focus on humanities); open office hours, AI full-day summit, resources site in SharePoint. We have also incorporated student interns and are developing our second student panel along with an industry panel; we are seeking funding and have one grant with SDSU and UCSD that will bring us a local employee AI micro-credential and a student micro-credential. Other divisions/colleges are working on AI guidelines and experimenting with bots, including play labs and nectar.
- The district II&E division is also trying to support the statewide initiatives by developing district cohorts to help them.
- We are a bit behind in this work because we were unaware of who was involved and had to chase down the participants by connecting with the vendors.
- ITS
- ITS is working on infrastructure and we are piloting the NRP in a couple of coding classes.
- Admin
- The VC is focused on funding and building our a faculty team to support all colleges.

- Resolution Regarding the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Courses
- Resolved, that the Miramar College Academic Senate endorses the following statements for faculty consideration when incorporating AI tools into their syllabi:
- Prohibition of AI Tools: In this course, students are not permitted to use AI tools for assignments, exams, or other coursework submissions. The objective is to promote direct engagement with the material and ensure the development of students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and writing skills. Violations, including plagiarism or submission of AIgenerated content as original work, will be treated as academic misconduct according to the college's academic integrity policies.
- Permissive Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are allowed to use AI tools to assist with certain aspects of their coursework, such as research, drafting, and problem-solving. However, students must exercise critical judgment when evaluating AI-generated content for accuracy and relevance. All submissions must include a statement explaining the extent of AI assistance. Adherence to academic integrity policies is expected, and AI-generated content must not be presented as original work without proper citation.
- Encouraged Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are encouraged to explore the use of AI tools to enhance their learning experience. These tools can be used for brainstorming, research, and deepening understanding of complex concepts. Students must document the role AI played in their work and follow academic integrity guidelines, including proper attribution of AI-generated content. This approach aims to foster critical engagement with technology and innovation.

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Senate continues to lead AI efforts across college communities, joined by Library Faculty and Staff, Online Education, and Distance Education teams, as well as discipline faculty close to AI or most impacted by AI (e.g., CS, English). As with all regions, students remain at the cusp of this AI work! Crafton Hills Student Science and Engineering Club
- Learning: Existing professional learning infrastructure is strongly tapped, including Online Education, Faculty PD teams, and Distance Education teams. Of particular note in this region is the value of centering not just faculty, but Classified Professionals in AI leadership and learning, and use of tools to save time and resources beyond instruction into A&R and Financial Aid.
- Language: Pattern of policy implementation continues, from use of existing BP/APs to the support of faculty by faculty policies with syllabus models and checklist, to college wide policies. (MSJC, VV)

- Not yet found. Appears to rely on the student code of conduct academic integrity.
- “Plagiarism is any conduct in academic work or programs involving misrepresentation of someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s original work including, but not limited to, the following:
- Intentionally representing as one’s own work the work, words, ideas, or arrangement of ideas, research, formulae, diagrams, statistics, or evidence of another.
- Taking sole credit for ideas and/or written work that resulted from collaboration with others.
- Paraphrasing or quoting material without citing the source.”
- submitting as one’s own a copy of or the actual work of another person, either in part or in entirety, without appropriate citation (e.g., term-paper mill or Internet-derived products).
- Library Guide
- COD Definition of Plagiarism
- Syllabus Example (Comm 101)
- “Academic Integrity
- In accordance with College of the Desert’s Student Code of Conduct, cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Incidents of cheating and/or plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the work and a report filed with the Office of Student Life.
- Generative AI Policy
- Generative AI tools may be able to help you generate ideas/topics for your assignments, formulate structure for your written work and speech outlines, and find existing research on the topic. These uses are permitted in this course. I will also permit you to use AI tools to edit your work and improve your use of language. If you use an AI tool in any of these ways to support your work, it must be included as a source/citation following APA or MLA styles. You cannot use the output from a generative AI tool as a reference when your work requires outside sources to support your thesis or central idea statement in a speech.
- All of your writing in this course must be your own; you may not use AI text generators to write any portion of the written work you submit or for any portion of a speech you deliver. Using AI tools in this way will be treated as a case of plagiarism per the Academic Integrity policy above.”
- Syllabus Example AIS 013 - Office Workplace Employment Preparation (Prof Michelle Richards)
- Acceptable & Unacceptable Uses of AI
- The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted in this course for the following activities:
- Brainstorming and refining your ideas;
- Fine tuning your research questions;
- Finding information on your topic;
- Drafting an outline to organize your thoughts; and
- Checking grammar and style.
- The use of generative AI tools is not permitted in this course for the following activities:
- Impersonating you in classroom contexts, such as by using the tool to compose discussion board prompts assigned to you or content that you put into a Zoom chat.
- Completinggroupworkthatyourgrouphasassignedtoyou,unlessitismutuallyagreedupon that you may utilize the tool.
- Writing a draft of a writing assignment.
- Writing entire sentences,paragraphs or papers to complete class assignments.
- You are responsible for the information you submit based on an AI query (for instance, that it does not violate intellectual property laws, or contain misinformation or unethical content).
- Your use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited in order to stay within college policies on academic honesty. For example, see the Library resources for APA guidance. Any assignment that is found to have used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will be reviewed via COD Academic Integrity guidelines. When in doubt about permitted usage, please ask for clarification.
- Adopted by permission, Temple University, Center for Advancement of Teaching
- Syllabus Example KINE 010 - Personal & Community Health (Professor Yuen Tse)
- “AI generated work
- While artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used, AI-generated passages are someone else' works, thoughts and analysis. In this course, I would love to see your own thoughts, insights and ideas. How you organize your thoughts and put words together in a sentence communicate about you and it matters to me! Sometimes it can be hard to express yourself but it is a learning process. This course is to equip and challenge you to become a competent learner! Most of the assignments in this course require your very own reflections and analysis, rather than textbook facts and ideas. Therefore, AI-generated submissions are not permitted and will be treated as a violation of the standards of the COD Code of Academic Integrity. Use of ChatGPT (or other similar tools or software that generate suggested text) is not allowed in this class for any part of a graded assignment, including generation of ideas, writing of text, or rewriting your own work. Violations could result in failure of the assignment or failure of the course. AI-generated works will be graded zero and redo is not allowed.”
- Syllabus Example PSY 001 - General Psychology (Professor Wendy Brooks, Psy.D.)
- Policy on the Use of Generative AI in Written Assignments, Quizzes and Exams
- Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology that is rapidly developing. Like the internet in general, these AI tools, like ChatGPT or Gemini, are neither good or bad when it comes to accessing and utilizing information. Instead, they are a new way in which we can interact with information.
- I highly recommend that students complete their own work. Despite this recommendation, many students choose to use AI tools to assist them in completing assignments. Overall, AI tools should be used wisely and reflectively to deepen their understanding of subject matter.
- If using Generative AI, College of the Desert students are expected to adhere to the same standards as the Code of Conduct on plagiarism. Presenting generative AI software content as your own is a violation of academic integrity and you will receive an F on the assignment. If you use generative AI in your work, you must indicate that you have done so.
- Students are not allowed to use AI tools during quizzes or exams.
- In this course, if you choose to use Generative AI tools (which is strongly discouraged), students must give credit to the Generative AI tools whenever used, even if only to generate ideas.
- If you choose to use Generative AI tools on written assignments, you must add an appendix showing:
- the entire exchange with Generative AI, highlighting the most relevant sections.
- a description of precisely which AI tools were used (e.g. ChatGPT private subscription version or DALL-E free version).
- an explanation of how the AI tools were used (e.g. to generate ideas, create an outline, word choice, elements of text, long stretches of text, construction of argument, pieces of evidence, maps of the concepts, illustrations of key concepts, citations or any other use).
- the reasons why AI tools were used (e.g. to save time, to surmount writer’s block, to stimulate thinking, to handle mounting stress, to clarify writing, to translate text, to experiment for fun, or any other reason).
- you need to cite AI appropriately. APA has guidelines for citing AI.

In my class, you are not authorized to use AI language tools, software, or artwork-generating programs (or similar programs) to produce work for this class. Work written by or created by AI tools is not your own original work, and moreover, the work is ultimately plagiarized from the various sources the program gathers information from.
