AI use disclosure tiers

Policy states

Permitted

This use does not require disclosure under the selected category policy.

Disclose

This use is permitted with disclosure in CiteKeep.

Not permitted

Your instructor prohibits this use. If it occurred, disclose it honestly; recording it does not grant permission.

Partly permitted

Categories within the tier have different rules. Read the category-specific states.

Tier A: Supported my learning

AI helped me understand. Nothing AI-produced is in my submitted work.

Explaining or learning content

Getting help understanding concepts, readings, problems, directions, or class material.

Creating study or practice materials

Making flashcards, quizzes, practice questions, study guides, examples, or explanations of answers.

Tier B: Supported my process

AI shaped how I worked. I wrote or made everything I submitted.

Brainstorming and idea generation

Coming up with topics, research questions, titles, examples, or creative directions.

Research support

Finding keywords, narrowing a topic, summarizing source material, comparing ideas, or organizing research notes.

Planning and organizing work

Creating outlines, assignment plans, timelines, section headings, or presentation structures.

Coordinating group work

Drafting team messages, summarizing meetings, dividing tasks, or managing a group project schedule.

Tier C: Refined my work

AI touched material I submitted, but the substance is mine.

Revising and improving work

Improving clarity, organization, tone, argument, evidence, flow, or alignment with assignment expectations.

Editing, proofreading, and formatting

Checking grammar, spelling, punctuation, citations, formatting, or general polish.

Creating visuals or multimedia

Generating images, graphics, diagrams, charts, slides, captions, or other visual supports.

Checking work or solving problems

Checking answers, explaining steps, solving math or technical problems, debugging code, or creating formulas.

Translation, simplification, or accessibility support

Translating text, simplifying reading level, converting information into another format, or making content more accessible.

Documenting AI use and reflecting on learning

Recording prompts and responses, explaining how AI was used, describing what changed, or reflecting on your learning process.

Tier D: Generated content in my work

AI produced substance that appears in my submitted work.

Drafting content

Generating a first draft of written work, discussion posts, emails, scripts, slides, or other assignment content.

Analyzing and interpreting data

Running calculations or statistics, coding or categorizing data, finding patterns, or interpreting what results mean.

Collecting or generating data

Designing surveys or interview questions, gathering source data, or generating sample, synthetic, or simulated data.

Completing tasks autonomously

Letting an AI agent browse, run code, use other tools, or carry out multi-step work with limited step-by-step direction.

If you used no AI

Use the No AI Use Attestation in CiteKeep when eligible. Follow the declaration carefully: it includes assignment-related learning, studying, and other support, not only submitted content.
