Student AI Use Readiness
Determining the best path for developing an institutional approach to student AI use can feel overwhelming. Institutions are often trying to address policy, academic integrity, privacy, faculty expectations, student guidance, technology, and governance at the same time.
These resources are designed to help institutions understand the breadth of student AI use, assess where current practices stand, identify gaps, and determine the most appropriate path forward. There is no single model that fits every college or university, the goal therefore is to provide context, structure, and practical starting points that institutions can adapt to their own policies, culture, priorities, and level of AI readiness.
Where is Your Institution Today?
Designed to help institutions first identify where they are today, then determine the most appropriate next steps for building a more coordinated, effective, and sustainable approach.
Recognize that Student AI Use is a Wide Area
Understand that one policy cannot cover all the areas the institution may need to address.
Build the Student AI Expectations Architecture
Helps institutions locate where AI expectations should live, clarify who owns them, and reduce gaps or contradictions across institutional, program, course, assignment, and student levels.
Design The Student AI Responsibility Equation
Provide students with a simple, memorable framework for responsible AI use
Develop the Student AI Use Policy/Policies
Clear policies translate broad principles into consistent expectations for responsible use, learning, privacy, disclosure, and accountability.
