If you use your Lehigh email to sign up for any online app or service (AI or otherwise) that requires you to create a username and password, do not use your Lehigh password.
If you are using Generative AI for professional work, always check the output for accuracy and bias. Using output from Generative AI tools without reviewing it for accuracy and bias may place you and the university at risk. Be proactive in discovering, and reminding others, of known limitations to current tools in your field of study or area of operations.
Understand citation practices in your context and appropriately cite any Generative AI tools that assisted in your work. Ask your chair, manager, or unit leadership if you have questions about using Generative AI for your academic, research, or administrative work.
Foster authentic learning, uphold academic integrity, and make AI "cheating" both less necessary and less appealing, while preparing students for responsible AI-enabled practice. Visit 7 Step Process for Deterring AI Misuse to learn how.
Students are expected to follow course-specific rules set by their instructors as well as academic integrity rules set by the university, as captured in the Student Code of Conduct.
Instructors are advised to give students clear guidance on the use of Generative AI tools for coursework and research. See the tips below and the sample statements in the LU Syllabus Template. Use Lehigh’s Academic Integrity Vignettes to highlight relevant cases and communicate expectations.
Vendors are actively marketing services to individuals in higher education. We encourage you to explore solutions that meet your needs but offer the caveat that off-the-shelf AI tools currently being marketed may not meet the university’s security, privacy, and compliance standards for handling anything besides public data. If you contract with a vendor who offers Generative AI-related services, complete this GenAI Software Registry. Adding your tool or service to this registry will help us understand the landscape of AI adoption at Lehigh.
Any individual or department that would like additional guidance in improving its operations through the use of Generative AI is strongly encouraged to collaborate with LTS to ensure that the tool under consideration meets Lehigh’s acceptable use guidelines, conforms to information security and data compliance requirements, and is not duplicative of existing tools on campus. LTS can help you identify ways such tools and services can benefit you, while also helping ensure that Lehigh only works with vendors that comply with our policies and practices.
