Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from the Bay Area this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Faculty engaged in AI learning and policy development, including at multiple colleges’ Librarians curating resources/on Senate AI task forces with other discipline faculty including many Distance Education/Instructional Design/ZTC/OER faculty and staff, as well as faculty from ICT/DM, Business, Comms, Engineering. In some cases AI discussion is led by student clubs and student journalism!
- Learning: Faculty and staff are not reinventing the wheel. Adapting from 2-year & 4-year early adopters in gathering teaching & learning, as well as policy resources, particularly those shared at the California Online Teaching conference.
- Language: Developmental pattern appears to be: syllabus based/existing academic integrity policy to AI policy. SJCC (syllabus), Foothill (draft) & West Valley “AI use range”, & DVC provide potential examples. SMCCCD mini conference is a PD model, robustly developed by their PD team, primarily BIPOC faculty and staff in the Distance Ed/Instructional Design teams.
- Lessons: Several colleges might need intentional and curated support with resources, while others can likely provide exemplars and/or peer to peer support, particularly important to support/resource multi-college districts and their College and District Senates.

June 2026 regional patterns & learningsupdated
The Bay Area remains the system's AI density leader. The defining 2025–26 development is Laney College's Bay Area AI Center of Excellence (BAAICoE), launched in late 2025 as a regional hub serving all 28 Bay Area colleges, with industry partners including Intel, AWS, Google, and Jobs for the Future (JFF) through the regional consortium. Curriculum has surged: De Anza is launching an A.S. in Applied AI plus six stackable credentials (Fall 2026), Las Positas built a full faculty AI program (including a named AI & Academic Honesty Liaison and a 21-unit certificate), and College of San Mateo, Foothill, and West Valley added AI/ML coursework. Governance matured in parallel, with district AI communities of practice (SMCCCD) and academic-senate vetting structures now common.

The College itself is defrauded if faculty and/or students knowingly or unwittingly allow dishonest acts to be rewarded academically. It is the faculty's responsibility to make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct. If the faculty member believes that there is evidence of academic dishonesty on the part of a student it is the faculty member's responsibility to take appropriate action in accordance with the academic honesty procedures.

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
Curated resources
- NFN colleges provide some neat learning, including examples and innovations to potentially elevate:
- Leadership includes early adopters within Library Faculty and Instructional Design teams in collaboration with discipline faculty. Again as some campuses students are also leading the way. NFN emerges as first region with multiple accessibility faculty and staff engaged at multiple colleges (Butte, CoS, FRC, etc) leading/working on AI and accessibility
- Learning, particularly, library guides and PD workshops are most prevalent. Some very interesting use of CO AI series, CVC-OEI PD as well as Instructional Design units and 2 and 4-year models to avoid reinventing the wheel. With respect to AI courses, Ed2Go appears to be providing early access for students. However, some colleges have no or low PD resources available and could benefit from PD support.
- Language are beginning to be discussed/envisioned, with strong reliance on existing student codes of conduct and ongoing faculty and staff work on development of syllabi language. Appears to follow similar cadence to other regions, code of conduct, professor-by-professor approach within syllabi, and then more systematic consideration of a policy. Exemplars include: CoR, CoS, and FRC.
- Of particular notepad interest for the NFN region:
- ARC AI Basics for Refugees
- Butte TMI department (Technology Mediated Instruction)
- CoR Syllabus with Range of AI Approaches Phil 15, Soc 1
- CoS Empowering Rural Education: Generative AI and Student-Centered Learning at College of the Siskiyous

June 2026 regional patterns & learningsupdated
This large, largely rural region shifted decisively from informal guidance to formal governance and partnership in 2025–26. Butte College's district-wide Administrative Procedure AP 3775 (December 2025) — built directly on the Chancellor's Office HUMANS principles — is a model for the system. Folsom Lake continued as a workforce leader (an AI/ML certificate and first-in-state participation in Intel's AI for Workforce program), the Los Rios district advanced AI guidelines, Sacramento City was selected for the AAC&U AI Institute, and Shasta, American River, and College of the Redwoods stood up task forces, AI-ambassador initiatives, and campus symposia.

- Academic Senate Sample Syllabus policies: [“There is no official CR policy on AI use. It is up to the instructor how they would like to address AI use in their courses. Below are three sample policies for you to consider, adapt, or delete”.] Three Approaches
- NO AI: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. However, overuse of these tools in this class can undermine your learning and curtail the development of your critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, the policy of this class is that AI cannot be used at any point in the completion of class assignments, including discussion posts. Any or all of your assignment submissions and discussion posts may be screened by AI detection software, but the real penalty for AI misuse is that you will miss out on an opportunity to learn.
- Per Assignment: Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made large language models such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard widely available. Sometimes, using these tools appropriately can help us overcome barriers and allow us to focus on deeper learning. However, overuse of these tools can undermine the development of our critical and creative thinking skills. In addition, AI outputs are often unreliable and frequently subject to bias. For these reasons, it is sometimes appropriate and sometimes inappropriate to use generative AI in the completion of assignments or in discussion posts. For this class, please see the specific assignment instructions for guidance on how and when generative AI tools may be used appropriately as we're working on and learning from a particular assignment. Also, please keep in mind that you are responsible for anything you submit; please carefully review all AI-generated outputs, screening them for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.
- Liberal AI: Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard, are likely to be widely used in the workplace moving forward. It's important for you to understand how to use them ethically and effectively. For that reason, in this class, you will sometimes be invited to use such a tool in the completion of an assignment. In this class, using generative AI tools is not cheating if the outputs are screened by you for accuracy, bias, appropriateness, and fidelity to your perspective.

- Range from NO AI, by assignment AI, or AI okay.
- Per library:
- Special note to students: your best practice will be to check-in with your instructors about class policy around AI use. Currently, there is no campus-wide policy for AI use in the classroom, but faculty are aware of the issues and CR is encouraging instructors to include AI use policies in the syllabus. There will be quite a bit of variability in how faculty do or don't incorporate AI into coursework. What is okay in one class may not be in another class.

- March 2024 Senate moved to adopt AI below Use with the following rationale:
- Students: Students will be increasingly using AI in various areas of their lives, so it is not reasonable to demand students forgo its use in their classes. It would be better to guide how it is used rather than banning its use. We have opportunities to model appropriate use in our courses.

- March 2024 Academic Senate adopted Use of AI for Academic Purpose for Students AND Faculty
- Three option approach: No, by assignment, or okay
- “The bottom line is that students and faculty may use AI tools at COS, but they are still fully responsible for adhering to all regulations and policies. The best advice for students when using AI tools is to err on the side of caution and adopt an “ask first” stance.”

- The policy will be comprehensive and inclusive of all disciplines, recognizing that AI is impacting every field.
- Relevant policies aligning with this new AI-related policy should include academic integrity, data privacy, technology use, ethical AI guidelines, curriculum and teaching policies, and equity and accessibility frameworks. These policies ensure responsible AI integration across disciplines, addressing ethical use, fairness, transparency, security, and inclusion in education.

Over the last three and half semesters, many cobbled together their own class policies and added them to their syllabi. While use of AI, both positive and negative, can pose very different concerns from one academic program to another, to our knowledge, no individual program has created their own departmental policy. There are some faculty who have embraced AI, from allowing its limited use in specific assignments to fully integrating AI as a teaching tool. There are likely many faculty who have attempted to fully prohibit it only to find that an increasing number of students are ignoring class policy and using it regardless.“

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Similar to BA, NFN, differentiated college community approaches, senate, and faculty/staff engagement, again library faculty and staff, distance education, DSPS, instructional designers (where present), academic technology, and discipline faculty are engaged within many communities
- Learning: Multiple colleges have nourished process with development of PD/learning resources for students and faculty alike, intentional support is also requested and could support those colleges earlier in the process. Supporting peer to peer connection, particularly for early-in-process and/or stuck-in-process might be most welcome, especially peers and exemplars
- Language: Policies are underway in many communities, again developmental process appears to be use of academic integrity by each professor towards college senate development of guiding syllabus language to adopted policy.

- Academic integrity policy addresses generative AI. Bakersfield College's Academic Integrity Policy states students should not use generative AI tools to generate answers unless explicitly told they may, and treats unauthorized AI use as plagiarism, commissioning, or fabrication; in online exams, use of generative AI is treated as cheating. undated · high confidence — source

Policy
Team/Lead: Bakersfield College
- AI appears to have been added to academic integrity
- “Using generative artificial intelligence (generative artificial intelligence) tools threatens the integrity of students’ work, and therefore the value of the student’s education. BC expects students to not use generative artificial intelligence tools to generate answers unless students have been explicitly told that they may. Use of generative artificial intelligence tools can constitute a number of forms of academic misconduct. It could be:
- plagiarism (because you are relying on a source that you have not identified)
- commissioning (because you are relying on work produced by another person - the company who owns the AI software)
- fabrication (if the AI makes up data or experiences that you then rely on)
- In the context of online exams, use of generative artificial intelligence will be treated as cheating. BC assumes that, by submitting a piece of work, students are representing that work as their own and not the product of generative artificial intelligence use or others. BC reserves the right to treat generative artificial intelligence use as a violation of the Standards of Student Conduct.
- If a student is not clear about the expectations for completing an assignment or taking a test, be sure to seek clarification from the instructor beforehand. For more assistance in your writing, the BC Writing Center is available to support work and guide you through the writing process.
- Sample syllabus language
- Cheating, generative artificial intelligence, fabricating, or falsifying information or sources, improper collaboration, submitting the same paper for different classes without permission, and plagiarism are all forms of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism occurs when writers and speakers deliberately or unintentionally use another person's language, ideas, or materials and present them as their own without properly acknowledging and citing the source. Academic dishonesty and/or plagiarism in this course will result in one or more of the following consequences: failure of the assignment, and referral to the Dean of Students. In this course, most often, your instructor will require oral citation of paraphrased material. Cite sources carefully, completely, and meticulously; when in doubt, cite. Familiarize yourself with the Standards of Student Conduct (KCCD Board Policy 5500) and BC definitions of plagiarism and cheating.

- Instructors were concerned about the effects of ai on information literacy and student integrity and saw it as a tool that is already affecting us.
- The instructional designer has tried, but not many takers.
- Pockets of faculty in various disciplines are trying / interested. Nothing official.
- Instructors were concerned about the effects of ai on information literacy and student integrity and saw it as a tool that is already affecting us.
- Classified Professionals and Admins
- I do not know of any administrative work on the topic. AI is routinely used by administrators and their administrative assistants in meetings.
- I believe many of our overworked classified staff are forced to use it in the name of efficiency. We need better involvement.
Policies
- Generative AI named in academic integrity (cheating/plagiarism) policy. The college's official Academic Integrity policy defines cheating to include 'presenting generative Artificial Intelligence work as your own or using a generative AI tool without an instructor's permission,' and states that material created with generative AI tools (ex. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) 'is not considered original' and that using such tools without instructor knowledge/consent 'is considered plagiarism.' 2025 · high confidence — source
- AI integrity language carried forward into current 2025-2026 catalog. The identical generative-AI academic integrity language first added in the 2024-2025 Catalog Addendum (effective Fall 2024) appears unchanged in the live 2025-2026 college catalog, confirming the policy remains current as of the 2025-2026 academic year. 2025 · high confidence — source
- Student AI disclosure/citation requirement tied to instructor guidelines. Catalog policy states that 'Even when instructor guidelines allow for the use of generative AI tools, students may need to disclose and cite all usage of tools such as ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc., specifying the extent and how it is used,' placing AI-use decisions and disclosure expectations at the individual instructor/syllabus level. 2025 · high confidence — source

- Per survey: to a limited extent.
- We have approved syllabus language about cheating and plagiarism that includes generative ai while allowing instructional faculty room to use it in assignments if they wish.
- I believe ai is also covered in our distance education strategic plan.

Team/Lead: Compton College
- Not yet found. Appears to rely on Student Code of Conduct academic integrity and preventing acts of academic dishonesty denoting faculty-by-faculty role:
- Option One: Compton College is dedicated to maintaining an optimal learning environment that thrives upon academic honesty. To uphold the academic integrity of the institution, all members of our academic community, faculty, staff, and students alike, must assume responsibility for providing an educational environment of the highest standards characterized by a spirit of academic honesty. It is the responsibility of all members of the Compton College academic community to behave in a manner which encourages learning, promotes honesty, and acts with fairness toward others. For more information, please refer to your College Catalog or Compton Community College District Board Policy 5500.
- Option Two: Compton College places a high value on the integrity of its student scholars. Therefore, the Compton College policy on academic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. Academic dishonesty encompasses both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes obtaining, attempting to obtain, or assisting to obtain academic credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Plagiarism involves submitting the works of others as your own and includes improper source citation, no source citation, using materials prepared by another student, and using fictitious sources. The penalties for academic dishonesty range from receiving an "F" on the assignment or exam to receiving an "F" in the course and may be reported to the appropriate campus authorities.

- Using ChatGPT or other generative AI in your assignments
- Confirm with your course coordinator or check your course syllabus before using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your assessment. Some instructors do not permit the use of AI tools, while others may allow AI with some limitations.
- Any permitted use of AI for assessment must be acknowledged appropriately. Your course instructor will provide guidance on how to reference the use of AI tools. Some possible examples include:
- Citing or referencing in the text or list of references
- Inclusion in your methodology
- An appendix including a full transcript of any prompts and AI-generated responses.
- Sample AI Policies by Course/Discipline
- June 2024 Nursing Program
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure the academic integrity and originality of writing assignments, while also allowing students to use AI tools to enhance the learning experience. Faculty will set expectations for the use of AI in their specific assignments including explicit direction as to when students cannot use AI. In general, students may utilize generative AI as a tool, resource, or consultant and not as a replacement for their own knowledge synthesis, reasoning, or self-reflection.
- Students are expected to adhere to the following:
- If generative AI is used for an assignment, it must be appropriately cited.
- Students are responsible for any inaccurate, biased, offensive, or otherwise unethical content they submit regardless of whether they personally authored it or used AI software to generate the content.
- Students may not create H&Ps or patient care documentation within the authentic clinical environment using artificial intelligence applications outside of those supported by the EHR (e.g., dot phrases, smart phrases, other system-generated text). Protected health information should never otherwise be used within a generative AI tool.
- Students may not copy and paste system or course session materials, presentation slides, or exam questions into AI systems consistent with copyright and intellectual property rights.
- When submitting scholarly work for publication or presentation, students must adhere to generative AI policies set forth by journals and organizations and disclose when and how these tools have been used.
- If a student is found to have inappropriately utilized generative AI, the student will be subject to the nursing program Academic Dishonesty Policy.
- 2021-2026 Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD)Innovation and Technology Plan
- “Increase technology modernization and innovation….
- 2.4. Embrace new technology options for enhanced learning such as Simulation Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality”
- Nov 2021 “Proposed LAHC policy on Student Academic Honesty: Los Angeles Harbor College is committed to preparing students to compete confidently and effectively in a rapidly changing, information-driven, technological global community. Students are expected to be honest and ethical. No acceptable rationale for dishonesty can be based on physical, emotional or learning challenges. The college expects that students do their own academic work. Acceptable academic conduct does not include cheating, plagiarism or any other unethical academic behavior.It is the student’s responsibility to know what conduct is academically honest.”

- Statement Regarding the Use of AI Programs
- Many assignments require writing, research, and/or sharing your ideas. The vast amount of information available online means that it can be hard to distinguish accurate from inaccurate sources. Websites are not always credible and sometimes reflect a biased viewpoint intended to sway the reader’s opinion. Similarly, AI tools (such as ChatGPT) may spread misinformation and falsehoods. When you do outside research, be sure to use reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed journal articles, government websites, or credible news articles. All outside sources must be properly cited in APA or MLA format.
- Importantly, always share what you learn in your own words, in a way that makes sense to you and in a way that is relevant to the assignment. The use of AI to write your posts is considered plagiarism because it is not your original writing. Plagiarism-detecting software (TurnItIn) and AI-detecting software (OpenAI Detector) may be used to analyze your submissions for originality. Any evidence of plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and possible further disciplinary action.
- Additional AI Policy Statement Examples (internal drive)

- Survey
- Interest in AI at our campus arrived about the same time as the student bot infiltration that has plagued us since Fall 2024. There was a pronounced use of AI in online courses by students that faculty were wholly unprepared for. For the most part, the approach has been diffuse.
- The Ad Hoc Committee on AI were tasked for simply revising the Academic Integrity policy to include the use of AI by students. Once completed the committee disbanded.
- Distance Education has held some workshops regarding AI, mostly in the realm of addressing its use by students in coursework.
- LASC Distance Education Coordinator has been invited to participate in the CVC-OEI AI Train-the-Trainer Community of Practice for Spring 2025.
- LASC Professional Development Committee organized a series of workshops based around the book, Teaching with AI by Bowen and Watson, kicking it off with a personalized workshop led by author Watson. The series was poorly attended.
- The intent is to establish an AI CoP at LASC by Fall 2025 involving faculty, staff, students and admin to develop a foundation for creating a comprehensive approach to AI at LASC.
- LACCD, our campus also has access to district-level training and workships on AI; these are more robust and address faculty and how they can use AI in their workflows in areas like assessment revisions, rubric creation, humanizing course content, and AI prompt engineering.
Policies
- Academic Integrity policy explicitly covers unauthorized generative AI use. The LASC 2025-26 College Catalog states that, per the LASC Academic Senate, the Academic Integrity policy applies to any use of generative Artificial Intelligence not specifically authorized by the instructor, defining generative AI as technology (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Bard, Dall-E) that can produce original text, imagery, code, audio, and video. 2025 · high confidence — source

- LAVC Library guidance in the absence of an AI policy:
- Generative Artificial Intelligence for Students
- “Best Bet: Until Valley College and the LACCD come up with comprehensive guidelines regarding student use of AI tools, your best bet for knowing when to use AI for college (and how to cite it) is to simply ask your instructor. Many instructors are now including AI guidelines in their syllabus, but if you don't see it there, you can always ask your instructor directly.
- If you have been falsely accused of cheating with AI, please refer to the information here.
- Keep in mind, as with all things related to AI, the norms and conventions for citing AI-generated content are likely to evolve over the next few years. For now, some of the major style guides have released preliminary guidelines, which we will outline below.”
- Artificial Intelligence Toolkit for Faculty advises Faculty:
- “Establishing Policies
- Faculty may decide when and how to permit student use of AI in classwork. Your best bet is to establish clear policies upfront that your students can easily locate in your syllabus and in Canvas. Policies range from outright bans of the technologies to those that allow and even encourage AI usage. For example, the University of Delaware offers four possible approaches to student use of these tools (and each approach may be context-specific):
- Prohibit all use of these tools
- Allow their use only with prior permission
- Allow their use only with explicit acknowledgment
- Freely allow their use
- The Eberly Center at Carnegie Mellon University offers some additional examples of syllabus language for your consideration.

- “The following can serve as a helpful template for syllabi statements or longer explanations regarding the use of AI in your courses. It is always up to each instructor to determine how and where students can use AI in their courses. It is important to state whether AI usage is allowed at all, and if so, it is helpful to provide guidelines such as these.
- Sample syllabus statement:
- While the use of Artificially Intelligent chatbots (such as ChatGPT, hereafter just “AI”) will be permitted to some degree in this course, the two most important things to remember are:
- You MUST always cite when and where you have used AI in your work.
- The work you submit, overall, must be your own, unique work. Here is a simple breakdown of what you can and cannot use AI for in this course:
- You CAN use AI to o give suggestions on how to fix your grammar or make your writing sound better;
- help you organize your work and give you suggestions on how to answer a question;
- help you create an outline or summary of your work;
- help you do research;
- help you figure out where to expand on your ideas or where your argument is weak;
- You CANNOT
- submit assignments that are primarily written by AI;
- use AI generated content in any way in the following assignments: ;
- submit AI generated summaries or outlines as your own;
- fail to properly cite where and how you used AI.
- Extended information that can be placed on Canvas, the syllabus, or elsewhere: AI is improving every day and will transform how a lot of work, especially writing and education, is done.
- Turning in an assignment that is primarily, or completely written by an AI, is not doing your own work, and in violation of academic integrity standards.
- Because of their very recent rise in popularity, I will be allowing the use of AI in this course according to the following guidelines, which have been generated using the help of ChatGPT.
- I asked it to generate guidelines for its use in a college course that includes critical thinking and edited what it gave me to help you use it while maintaining academic integrity and critical thinking:
- The use of AI generated content will be allowed on all assignments EXCEPT for . You should primarily use AI to help organize your thoughts and writing. You are highly discouraged from using them in any way for your discussion posts, however, as the primary point of the discussions is for you to get practice writing and thinking on your own.
- Any use of AI writers MUST be cited. Include which one you used, when you used it, where you have used it in your assignment, and any other relevant information. Failure to acknowledge when and where you have used them will result in a 0 on the assignment. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- Failure to meet the citation requirements in the assignments will result in a 0. This is to ensure that you are doing work on the assignment yourself, as AI cannot do this part of the assignment properly. The ability to resubmit the assignment is at the instructor’s discretion.
- AI writers are tools for expanding your understanding but should not be used as a replacement for your own critical thinking and analysis and thus should not be relied upon to do the bulk of an assignment.
- Do not trust AI and do not expect it to give you anything with real substance. You are responsible for your work, and you should double-check anything and everything it gives you.
- Use AI as a starting point for discussion and analysis. Rather than accepting its responses uncritically, use them as a jumping-off point for further exploration and critical thinking. Consider how the responses align with or challenge your existing beliefs and theories.
- Avoid relying solely on AI for answers to open-ended questions. While AI can provide useful insights, they may not be able to fully address the complexity of the issues. Use your own critical thinking skills and additional research to explore these issues in more depth.
- Finally, remember that AI writers are machine learning tools designed to simulate human conversation. They are not a substitute for human interaction or discussion. Always seek out opportunities to engage with your peers and instructors to deepen your understanding of important concepts.”

Policies
- Academic integrity treats unauthorized AI use as misconduct. SCC's academic-integrity guidance (as surfaced in syllabus/policy language) defines academic dishonesty to include the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence and notes the college may use AI-detection tools while cautioning that detection is unreliable, can yield false positives, and that suspicions must be thoroughly investigated before action. (Underlying primary policy page not directly fetched; sourced via secondary index.) undated · low confidence — source

- AI added to academic honesty policy
- “Academic Honesty
- Students at Santiago Canyon College are expected to be honest in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one's research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is an intentional act of fraud in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work of another without authorization or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. Santiago Canyon College also considers academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, assisting or coercing other students in acts of dishonesty, or the unauthorized use of Artificial Intelligence.
- Policy for AI Tools Detection in Student Work
- At Santiago Canyon College, we recognize the importance of academic integrity and the need to deter plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct. To this end, we may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to detect the use of AI in student work. However, we must ensure that student privacy and confidentiality are protected, and therefore, we will not disclose any identifiable information within the text that we are submitting to AI.
- We acknowledge that the use of AI detection is a new and developing area, and as such, it may not always be reliable. Additionally, there are many AI tools available, and some may not be detectable by AI detection software.
- We understand that false positives can occur with AI detection, which could result in a student being accused of academic misconduct unfairly. Therefore, we will take steps to ensure that any suspicions raised by AI tools are thoroughly investigated before any action is taken. In summary, while we recognize the potential benefits of using AI tools to detect academic misconduct, we are committed to protecting student privacy and confidentiality. We will ensure that any such tools are used fairly, and we will take care to investigate any concerns raised by AI detection thoroughly.”

Patterns & learnings
- Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
- Leadership: Again, strong engagement of Senates and district/college shared governance, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting college communities with learning about AI, policy development, and importantly implementation, particularly with intentional focus on equity (algorithmic equity) and accessibility (Cuyamaca, Grossmont, Miracosta).
- Learning: Strong models of district/college learning infrastructure, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting in-person, online, and hyflex faculty learning. Some emerging shared leadership models of broader and more inclusive college-wide learning support Classified Professionals and Admins as well. (SDCCD, Miracosta PD: Faculty, Admin, and Classified Panel on AI in their College Work)
- Language: College communities are grappling with the process of developing AI policy language. Spectrum of differentiated development continues: under existing code of conduct/academic honesty, professor to professor AI syllabus statements, and then development of AI-specific policies and language (Grossmont, Palomar, MiraCosta, and Miramar).

- Providing Clarity to Students About AI Usage in MiraCosta Classes
- “Artificial Intelligence (AI) - particularly emerging generative AI tools capable of creating text, images, code, and more, such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot - presents challenges and opportunities in teaching and learning.
- Faculty approaches to the use of generative AI tools by their students will vary across and within classes based on learning outcomes, pedagogies, methods of assessment, and concerns about ethics and equity implications of AI tools.
- This variance, and our academic freedom, means that it does not make sense to create a blanket college policy about AI usage.

Policy
Team/Lead: Palomar College
- Spring 2024, Palomar College approved amendment to Administrative Procedure 5505: Academic Integrity which addresses academic honesty and includes guidelines on the use of generative AI tools.
- “TYPES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
- Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, fraud, making multiple submissions of similar work, using unauthorized artificial intelligence programs, and facilitating academic dishonesty.”
- Cheating consists of obtaining or trying to obtain, through dishonest means, credit for academic work. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- ….Using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids (e.g., textbook, artificial intelligence, web search, notes, data, images, formula list, dictionary, calculator, etc.) in student work
- Unauthorized Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as employing artificial intelligence tools, software, or systems for academic purposes without instructor authorization or in violation of institutional policies, resulting in academic dishonesty or misconduct. Examples include:
- Using AI tools to solve problems, show logic, draft texts, create multimedia objects, translate or summarize documents, all without instructor authorization.
- Artificial Intelligence Tools The faculty is free to set their own policies regulating the use of generative AI tools in their courses, including allowing or disallowing some or all uses of such tools. Faculty should set such policies in their course syllabi and clearly communicate such policies to students. Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification (Stanford University Office of Community Standards). Absent a clear statement from faculty, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated analogously to assistance from another person. In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted. Students should acknowledge the use of generative AI and default to disclosing such assistance when in doubt (Stanford University Office of Community Standards).”

- Resolved, that the Miramar College Academic Senate endorses the following statements for faculty consideration when incorporating AI tools into their syllabi:
- Prohibition of AI Tools: In this course, students are not permitted to use AI tools for assignments, exams, or other coursework submissions. The objective is to promote direct engagement with the material and ensure the development of students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and writing skills. Violations, including plagiarism or submission of AIgenerated content as original work, will be treated as academic misconduct according to the college's academic integrity policies.
- Permissive Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are allowed to use AI tools to assist with certain aspects of their coursework, such as research, drafting, and problem-solving. However, students must exercise critical judgment when evaluating AI-generated content for accuracy and relevance. All submissions must include a statement explaining the extent of AI assistance. Adherence to academic integrity policies is expected, and AI-generated content must not be presented as original work without proper citation.
- Encouraged Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are encouraged to explore the use of AI tools to enhance their learning experience. These tools can be used for brainstorming, research, and deepening understanding of complex concepts. Students must document the role AI played in their work and follow academic integrity guidelines, including proper attribution of AI-generated content.

- Not yet found. Appears to rely on the student code of conduct academic integrity.
- “Plagiarism is any conduct in academic work or programs involving misrepresentation of someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s original work including, but not limited to, the following:
- Intentionally representing as one’s own work the work, words, ideas, or arrangement of ideas, research, formulae, diagrams, statistics, or evidence of another.
- Taking sole credit for ideas and/or written work that resulted from collaboration with others.
- Paraphrasing or quoting material without citing the source.”
- submitting as one’s own a copy of or the actual work of another person, either in part or in entirety, without appropriate citation (e.g., term-paper mill or Internet-derived products).
- Library Guide
- COD Definition of Plagiarism
- Syllabus Example (Comm 101)
- “Academic Integrity
- In accordance with College of the Desert’s Student Code of Conduct, cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Incidents of cheating and/or plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the work and a report filed with the Office of Student Life.
- Generative AI Policy
- Generative AI tools may be able to help you generate ideas/topics for your assignments, formulate structure for your written work and speech outlines, and find existing research on the topic. These uses are permitted in this course. I will also permit you to use AI tools to edit your work and improve your use of language. If you use an AI tool in any of these ways to support your work, it must be included as a source/citation following APA or MLA styles. You cannot use the output from a generative AI tool as a reference when your work requires outside sources to support your thesis or central idea statement in a speech.
- All of your writing in this course must be your own; you may not use AI text generators to write any portion of the written work you submit or for any portion of a speech you deliver. Using AI tools in this way will be treated as a case of plagiarism per the Academic Integrity policy above.”
- Syllabus Example AIS 013 - Office Workplace Employment Preparation (Prof Michelle Richards)
- Acceptable & Unacceptable Uses of AI
- The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted in this course for the following activities:
- Brainstorming and refining your ideas;
- Fine tuning your research questions;
- Finding information on your topic;
- Drafting an outline to organize your thoughts; and
- Checking grammar and style.
- The use of generative AI tools is not permitted in this course for the following activities:
- Impersonating you in classroom contexts, such as by using the tool to compose discussion board prompts assigned to you or content that you put into a Zoom chat.
- Completinggroupworkthatyourgrouphasassignedtoyou,unlessitismutuallyagreedupon that you may utilize the tool.
- Writing a draft of a writing assignment.
- Writing entire sentences,paragraphs or papers to complete class assignments.
- You are responsible for the information you submit based on an AI query (for instance, that it does not violate intellectual property laws, or contain misinformation or unethical content).
- Your use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited in order to stay within college policies on academic honesty. For example, see the Library resources for APA guidance. Any assignment that is found to have used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will be reviewed via COD Academic Integrity guidelines. When in doubt about permitted usage, please ask for clarification.
- Adopted by permission, Temple University, Center for Advancement of Teaching
- Syllabus Example KINE 010 - Personal & Community Health (Professor Yuen Tse)
- “AI generated work
- While artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used, AI-generated passages are someone else' works, thoughts and analysis. In this course, I would love to see your own thoughts, insights and ideas. How you organize your thoughts and put words together in a sentence communicate about you and it matters to me! Sometimes it can be hard to express yourself but it is a learning process. This course is to equip and challenge you to become a competent learner! Most of the assignments in this course require your very own reflections and analysis, rather than textbook facts and ideas. Therefore, AI-generated submissions are not permitted and will be treated as a violation of the standards of the COD Code of Academic Integrity. Use of ChatGPT (or other similar tools or software that generate suggested text) is not allowed in this class for any part of a graded assignment, including generation of ideas, writing of text, or rewriting your own work. Violations could result in failure of the assignment or failure of the course. AI-generated works will be graded zero and redo is not allowed.”
- Syllabus Example PSY 001 - General Psychology (Professor Wendy Brooks, Psy.D.)
- Policy on the Use of Generative AI in Written Assignments, Quizzes and Exams
- Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology that is rapidly developing. Like the internet in general, these AI tools, like ChatGPT or Gemini, are neither good or bad when it comes to accessing and utilizing information. Instead, they are a new way in which we can interact with information.
- I highly recommend that students complete their own work. Despite this recommendation, many students choose to use AI tools to assist them in completing assignments. Overall, AI tools should be used wisely and reflectively to deepen their understanding of subject matter.
- If using Generative AI, College of the Desert students are expected to adhere to the same standards as the Code of Conduct on plagiarism. Presenting generative AI software content as your own is a violation of academic integrity and you will receive an F on the assignment. If you use generative AI in your work, you must indicate that you have done so.
- Students are not allowed to use AI tools during quizzes or exams.
- In this course, if you choose to use Generative AI tools (which is strongly discouraged), students must give credit to the Generative AI tools whenever used, even if only to generate ideas.
- If you choose to use Generative AI tools on written assignments, you must add an appendix showing:
- the entire exchange with Generative AI, highlighting the most relevant sections.
- a description of precisely which AI tools were used (e.g. ChatGPT private subscription version or DALL-E free version).
- an explanation of how the AI tools were used (e.g. to generate ideas, create an outline, word choice, elements of text, long stretches of text, construction of argument, pieces of evidence, maps of the concepts, illustrations of key concepts, citations or any other use).
- the reasons why AI tools were used (e.g. to save time, to surmount writer’s block, to stimulate thinking, to handle mounting stress, to clarify writing, to translate text, to experiment for fun, or any other reason).
- you need to cite AI appropriately. APA has guidelines for citing AI.

In my class, you are not authorized to use AI language tools, software, or artwork-generating programs (or similar programs) to produce work for this class. Work written by or created by AI tools is not your own original work, and moreover, the work is ultimately plagiarized from the various sources the program gathers information from. Therefore, work generated from these tools is not accepted in this class.]

- AI, ChatGPT, and Other Generative Tools: For Students: MSJC Resources
- MSJC Online Library Orientation includes tutorials that address AI and can be assigned to students. These can be particularly useful in helping students navigate the way in which AI should or should not be used in developing their assignments and during the research process.
- Module 1: Getting Started with Research
- Developing a Research Focus - Students will learn effective ways to tackle a research assignment: pre-research strategies, develop early search terms, refining your search scope, using AI in pre-research (with a focus on the considerations, uses, and cautions of using AI), and concept maps.
- Module 3:
- Searching for Information - Choosing and Using Keywords - Students will learn how to choose effective keywords for their assignments. New content related to AI has been added to this tutorial addressing the use of AI for keyword development, including evaluating the relevance and reliability of AI generated terms.
- Module 4:
- Evaluating Information - Fact Checking - This fact checking tutorial will help students understand how to fact check a multitude of resources, with a focus on online sources, when conducting research. The tutorial discusses lateral reading, how to evaluate for reliability and balance, tracing claims to original sources, and considering fact checking and AI.
- Module 6:
- Citations and Academic Integrity - Academic Integrity and AI - Students will understand what academic integrity looks like with specific information on the potential impact of AI on academic integrity.
- PD per survey:
- PD/DE has an AI in April PD series coming up. English is working on some AI policies.
- Lots of institutionally created AI-PD

- AI Grand Challenge Grant "Sub to Berkeley: The AI Grand Challenge grant supports education by leveraging AI for teaching and learning. This grant helps to address two equity gaps found within the Engineering program: success and Retention for Hispanic Males.
- AI Grand Challenge Grant "Sub to UCR": Our application proposes to use AI to help close equity gaps in STEM courses at Norco College by providing resources to aid student learning during and after lectures. AI tools will be utilized to fill the need for online student tutor services. AI will also be used to increase AI inside and outside of the classroom to improve students' experiences and increase their success.

- Our Distance Ed department provided one workshop on generative AI basics but most of our efforts have been offered by the classified professional development committee and specifically one classified professional who facilitated three workshops.
- Person 1 - We haven't. I took an interest in AI and started going to AI conferences and training, and I now present on AI at conferences and other colleges. Now, I work with the professional development coordinator to bring AI ideas to RCC as much as possible, but it's slow going.
- Person 2 - The professional development coordinator and I have focused on AI chatbots and generative AI applications.
- Person 2 - I provided training on prompting techniques for generative AI and an overview of AI in general. I am also doing an April AI Bingo event to get people involved.
- The classified professional development committee plans to launch an AI April campaign. Some individuals are now using AI in their day-to-day tasks, but that is only two or three of us so far.
