Plagiarism and AI

“Plagiarism is presenting as one’s own–in whole or in part–the argument, language, creations, conclusions, or scientific data of another (without explicit acknowledgment) or that is the result of using an artificial intelligence (AI) platform. Note that the use of generative AI is prohibited in course work, except where faculty have specifically authorized its use. (see Pathways for Academic Uses of AI at WWU: Flowchart). See the Library’s Plagiarism Policies & Guidelines for examples and citation guides. See Appendix D: Academic Honesty Policy & Procedure of the catalog for examples, procedures, and methods of appeal and Academic Honesty Resources for Students for appeal rules and timeline.”
