Campus Integrity Policy

The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.

A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”

AI Use Policy

It is expected that any coursework (including, but not limited to, essays, papers, exams, projects, and lab reports) submitted by a student will be a product of their own creation, demonstrating their achievement of the learning outcomes related to the assigned task. With this in mind, note that submitting work that includes unauthorized or undocumented use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be considered as cheating or plagiarism. If you are unsure about appropriate use of AI on a given assignment, talk with your professor.

AI Use Policy

Bethel University recognizes that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly common in professional, academic, and educational settings. The purpose of this policy is to encourage the responsible, ethical, and transparent use of AI, while preserving academic integrity and ensuring that students develop and demonstrate the critical thinking, knowledge, skills, and competencies required by each course. Because learning outcomes and appropriate uses of AI vary across disciplines, courses, and assignments, expectations for AI use will be established by individual instructors in accordance with the learning objectives of their courses.
