AI-Use Checklist
A quick check before you submit — make sure your use of AI tools on this assignment is disclosed, honest, and within the rules.
This checklist reflects common academic-integrity expectations, but policies vary widely by institution and instructor. Always follow your specific course syllabus and honor code first.
How to Use This Checklist
Work through each item before submitting an assignment where you used any AI tool, even for brainstorming or explanation. This isn't a substitute for your institution's actual policy — always check your syllabus or honor code first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this checklist a substitute for my school's AI policy?
No. Institutions and individual instructors set very different rules about AI use, ranging from fully banned to encouraged with disclosure. Always check your specific syllabus or honor code first — this checklist is a general starting point, not a policy.
Do I need to cite AI tools I use?
Many institutions now require it if AI assisted your work in any way. Check the AI Citation Guide for common APA and MLA formats, and confirm what your instructor expects.
Is my checklist progress saved?
Yes, your checked items are saved in your browser's local storage automatically, so they'll still be there next time you visit.
