Policy
Grays Harbor College recognizes the prevalence of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). The College wishes to encourage responsible use of these technologies to develop and enhance the skills of our students and employees, while considering the implications of AI use for our communities.
Student Use
Faculty at Grays Harbor College have the academic freedom and responsibility to establish and communicate their own guidelines on the use of generative AI tools within their courses. Faculty instructors are encouraged to consider the spectrum of possible AI use; which may permit, restrict, or fully prohibit the use of AI within their course or specific assignments. Students are responsible for following guidelines as established by their instructors. All work generated by artificial intelligence should be properly attributed. Students found to be using AI outside of established guidelines will be treated on a case-by-case basis in alignment with college policies on academic dishonesty and student misconduct.
Employee Use
Faculty, staff, and administrators at Grays Harbor College should research and familiarize themselves with generative AI, and are permitted to use AI to facilitate their work as appropriate, as determined by an employee’s direct supervisor. Student and institutional data, or other data protected by FERPA regulations, should never be used in conjunction with AI. AI is subject to all other institutional policies surrounding data privacy and technology. All work generated by artificial intelligence should be properly attributed.
