Teaching & Learning
- The policy also makes clear that instructor authorization governs whether certain assistance or sources may be used for assignments
- Luther College treats AI use in coursework as a potential academic integrity violation when students present AI-generated wording as their own or use AI in a course or assignment where it is prohibited
1.3.4.1 Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Presenting words generated from an artificial
intelligence like ChatGPT or Grammarly as your own words in any work, or using AI when
prohibited in a course or assignment. This does not include the use of grammar and spell check
included in Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
1.3.1.2 Use of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers,
preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments.
1.3.1.4 Engaging in any behavior specifically prohibited by a faculty member in the course
syllabus or class discussion.
The Honor Code applies to all aspects of a student’s academic life. This means that all
tests, quizzes, examinations, and assigned written or oral work of any kind is expected to be the
work of the student alone (unless otherwise assigned or approved) and that failure to observe this
requirement shall be considered a violation of the Honor Code.
- For exams and other assessments, Luther College requires student work to be their own unless otherwise assigned or approved
- Using any unauthorized assistance on quizzes, tests, or examinations is treated as cheating, and AI use is also prohibited when a course or assignment forbids it

Academic Integrity
- Luther College requires acknowledgment when using others' words or ideas, including in contexts involving artificial intelligence
- The policy does not provide a dedicated AI citation format, but it states that unacknowledged use is plagiarism and describes footnotes and quotation practices for attribution
1.3.4 Plagiarism. Using or representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in any
academic exercise. The term includes, but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct
quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear
acknowledgment.
Plagiarism of any sort involves presenting someone else’s intellectual output as one’s
own, including the use of artificial intelligence.
The usual form for showing such debts is a footnote, giving at least the name of the author, the
title of the work, and the exact page. (Customs governing what should be included in the note
vary somewhat from one subject field to another; the departments of instruction can provide
information about their particular requirements.) Direct quotations must always be indicated:
short quotations should be enclosed in quotation marks, and longer ones should be set off from
- Luther College enforces AI-related academic integrity issues through the same misconduct processes used for other violations: either an Individual Review by faculty or an Honor Council Review
- Faculty must act when a likely violation has occurred, and instructors may choose sanctions after an Honor Council verdict; no policy on AI detection software is defined in the provided sources
There are two different procedures for dealing with possible violations of academic integrity: the Individual Review, conducted by faculty members, and the Honor Council Review, conducted by the Honor Council.
If an instructor discovers a possible case of academic dishonesty, the instructor is free to decide if an individual review should be conducted or if the case should be handled by the Honor Council.
In any case, if it is likely that a violation of academic integrity has occurred, faculty members must either conduct an individual review and submit the required form to the Dean’s office or send the case to the Honor Council.
Once you receive the verdict, you can either follow the recommendations or issue your own sanction.

intelligence like ChatGPT or Grammarly as your own words in any work, or using AI when
prohibited in a course or assignment. This does not include the use of grammar and spell check
