Generative AI: Guidelines and Practices – Students
This document is to complement the Merici College IB Academic Integrity Policy and BSSS Academic Integrity Policy. Its purpose is to outline and explain the ways in which generative AI can be used by students for any part of their work practices. Merici College acknowledges the increasing use of generative AI in many areas of education, including: creation of resources, research, editing and advice on original work. This aims to give a clear framework of how Merici College students can use generative AI.
Changes to Merici College IB Academic Integrity Policy, the BSSS Academic Integrity Policy and the introduction of the Merici College Generative AI: Guidelines and Practices aims to:
• Prohibit high risk uses of AI in summative assessment and everyday practice
• Clarify the responsibilities of the teacher when investigating AI use
• Codify the requirement that students may only use generative AI when explicitly permitted in assessment
• Clarify that refusal to follow validation procedures may in itself be subject to academic integrity penalties.
