Teaching & Learning
- The college treats unauthorized AI use in coursework as academic misconduct
- Use of AI on assignments is prohibited when it is not expressly allowed by the instructor, and students are responsible for understanding course-specific rules
The use of Artificial Intelligence technologies by a student in an academic assignment or assessment, for example ChatGPT or DALL-E, is a violation of the Academic Misconduct policy, unless the student’s instructor clearly permits its use in the assignment or assessment guidelines.
If a course has not published a policy on the use of Artificial Intelligence, students should discuss with the faculty member what is and is not acceptable in a course assignment or assessment.
- Where no course policy is published, students are directed to confirm what is acceptable with the faculty member
- AI use during examinations and other assessments is prohibited unless the instructor clearly authorizes it in the assessment guidelines

- The provided sources describe workshops and training opportunities rather than binding rules
- Flagler College encourages AI literacy and offers AI-related student learning support through the library, but it does not define a formal university policy on student use of AI for private studying or non-graded learning
Proctor Library is offering a workshop series on AI and information literacy this fall. The series is open to all students, faculty, and staff, and focuses on helping participants critically engage with generative AI tools, understand their strengths and limitations and use them effectively and responsibly in research and learning.
If students or faculty need one-on-one assistance navigating generative AI use for teaching, learning, or research, they are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Joe Gillette, information literacy librarian and assistant professor, or Dr. Sarah Russo, cataloging and technical services librarian and assistant professor.

Academic Integrity
- Undisclosed or unauthorized AI use is enforced through the college's academic misconduct process
- Violations may be referred to the dean and can result in sanctions ranging from assignment penalties to suspension or expulsion; repeat violations may lead to progressively harsher consequences
The use of Artificial Intelligence technologies by a student in an academic assignment or assessment, for example ChatGPT or DALL-E, is a violation of the Academic Misconduct policy, unless the student’s instructor clearly permits its use in the assignment or assessment guidelines.
A faculty member may choose any suitable sanction for the offense after consultation with the academic dean and must submit a written report to the academic dean, dean of students, and the student.
A range of sanctions are available to faculty members and/or the dean of student success:
• lower grade on assignment;
• assignment rewrite;
• lower grade for course;
• required attendance at a workshop on plagiarism or study skills; and,
• academic warning with a statement that a further offense may result in suspension or expulsion from the College.
Repeated violations may incur progressively severe sanctions, including suspension or expulsion from the College.
Institutional & Administrative
- Faculty development materials frame AI as something to integrate thoughtfully into courses and learning design
- The provided sources show that faculty are being trained to use AI in teaching and class preparation, but they do not define binding rules for faculty or staff uses such as grading, recommendation letters, or administrative communications
Through the program, professors collaborated with peers from around the world while exploring practical applications of artificial intelligence in the classroom.
The course emphasized designing authentic assessments, integrating AI into the learning process and encouraging critical engagement with AI-generated content.
Participating faculty represented a wide range of disciplines, from political science to business to theater. Their projects demonstrated how AI can be incorporated thoughtfully into varied learning environments.
- The materials show implementation activity rather than a codified governance policy
- Flagler College has visible AI capacity-building activity, including faculty credentialing and campus workshops, but the provided sources do not define a formal university-wide AI governance framework, committee structure, or institutional strategy document
This spring, six Flagler College faculty members completed the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ “AI Pedagogy Institute,” equipping them with practical strategies to thoughtfully integrate artificial intelligence into their teaching.
Proctor Library is offering a workshop series on AI and information literacy this fall. The series is open to all students, faculty, and staff, and focuses on helping participants critically engage with generative AI tools, understand their strengths and limitations and use them effectively and responsibly in research and learning.
