July 2026. Comprehensive review. There are 2 substantive amendments to this policy:
AI Usage: Adding a requirement for instructors to list a course-specific policy on AI usage. The University, at this moment in time, does not have a central policy regarding the use of AI in the classroom. With this addition, instructors will retain the autonomy to choose whether to allow or prohibit the use of AI in their courses. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that AI usage expectations are clearly communicated to students for each individual course. The spectrum of GenAI use is entirely up to the instructor.
Workload Statement: Including the requirement to list a workload statement in undergraduate syllabi. The workload statement aligns with the existing Expected Time per Course Credit policy. It was an oversight to not include this previously. Since we wanted to add an AI statement, we are taking this opportunity to also amend the previous oversight.
