High Point University AI Policy

The policy of the MA-CBL program is that students are allowed to use AI, with instructor permission. Students should be aware that copying and pasting content is considered plagiarism. Artificial Intelligence technology should be used to assist your work, not be a replacement for it.

An individual instructor may adopt a different AI policy specific to their class and clearly outline this in the course syllabus. For courses that have a policy that differs from the MA-CBL policy, the individual course policy will take precedent.

Instructors may develop more specific terms and conditions for the use of Generative AI in their courses. They may, for instance, allow students to use Generative AI tools for graded or ungraded course-work, but only under certain conditions, disclosures, or supervision.

The use of Generative AI on School of Law Assessments is prohibited. This prohibition applies to all stages of the process of completing the assessment. Students may not use Generative AI to write any portion of an Assessment. Students may not use Generative AI to answer multiple-choice, short answer, or any other type of question on an Assessment. Students may not use Generative AI to generate ideas for topics to cover or arguments to make in a paper or other written Assessment.

Instructors may develop more specific terms and conditions for the use of Generative AI in their courses.

If there is uncertainty regarding permissible uses of Generative AI tools on a particular assignment, students must consult with the appropriate Instructor before making use of such tools.

All technology devices (cell phones, smart watches, AI glasses, etc.) must be placed in the Testing Coordinator’s office prior to the start of the exam.

We foster a culture of ethical AI use, teaching students to use AI for enhancement rather than replacement, augmenting capabilities while maintaining authenticity, transparency, and respect for intellectual property.

Our goal is cultivating graduates who understand their obligation to use AI responsibly for society’s betterment. AI literacy is now fundamental to being an educated 21st-century citizen.

For students, tools like Socratic can provide personalized tutoring, helping students master challenging subjects through visual explanations, practice problems, and tailored follow-ups.

When submitting an assignment that was assisted with the use of technology, the student must cite the use following APA guidelines found at https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to-cite-chatgpt

Students must disclose the use of Generative AI on a written School of Law assignment by writing the following sentence at the end of the document: “I used Generative Artificial Intelligence in completing this assignment.” Individual Instructors may require more detailed disclosures, including the specific tool used and how it was used.

Proper acknowledgment involves clearly identifying the author and source of any quoted or paraphrased material, using quotation marks or indentation as needed.

Students should carefully read the syllabus designed for each class by the professor for specific permissions.

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from cheating;

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from collusion;

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from plagiarism;

The Honor Code is maintained and enforced by the Judicial Board of the Student Government Association, with faculty and staff involvement.

In the event that an Instructor permits or requires the use of Generative AI on an assignment but places restrictions on its use, students must comply with all restrictions, and it is a violation of this Honor Code to fail to comply with a restriction on Generative AI use.

The Respondent must be acquitted of a Complaint unless the violation alleged in the Complaint is proven by clear and convincing evidence to the satisfaction of all members of the Administrative Honor Panel hearing the case.

Faculty members can also leverage AI to enhance their teaching experience. Gradescope can streamline administrative tasks, allowing professors to focus on mentorship and designing dynamic coursework. A professor can offer immediate and consistent feedback on assignments, enhancing student learning outcomes. Other tools like Perplexity can enrich classroom discussions with timely updates on recent developments and by posing hypothetical scenarios.

Similarly, faculty and staff can use Copilot or a similar tool to automate form processing and scheduling, along with the ability to manage routine student and parent inquiries.

We provide educational experiences developing both AI literacy and timeless life skills, ensuring graduates leverage technology while maintaining the human engagement defining excellence. We foster a culture of ethical AI use, teaching students to use AI for enhancement rather than replacement, augmenting capabilities while maintaining authenticity, transparency, and respect for intellectual property.

At HPU we’re integrating AI education across our curriculum while ensuring traditional values guide technological adoption.

Embracing AI will not only future-proof our educational model but establish our institution as a leader in ethical, human-centered AI education.
