Academic Integrity

At Mount Holyoke, faculty legislation has been adopted to address the use of artificial intelligence in academic work. As of September 2024, the current text of the faculty legislation can be found here: Mount Holyoke College Faculty Legislation 2024-2025

See Pg. 57, updated in May 2023, for the following language on Artificial Intelligence:

To this end, Mount Holyoke College prohibits the use of artificial intelligence tools
or other uncredited persons or entities to produce content that a student
misleadingly represents as their own original work, such as generating an essay,
creating text, images, providing analysis, creating code or producing assignment
responses without the explicit permission of the faculty member. The expectation
is that all work submitted by students will be generated by students themselves
working individually or in groups as determined by the assignment and instruction
of the faculty member.

Students should consult with their faculty member for clarification of AI expectations in a particular class, and make sure their use is in line with the above guidance, and the MHC Honor Code.

Faculty, If you suspect a student has used AI in a prohibited or unattributed way to generate part of an assignment, you can find suggestions for how to respond on the For Faculty page of this guide.
