For Students
As a student at Middlebury, you have access to several generative AI tools with your Middlebury credentials.
Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT and Gemini, produce responses or outputs to prompts/questions provided by the user. Access to these tools places an enormous responsibility on you to consider the potential benefits and harms to yourself as a learner, to your community at Middlebury, and to society.
In the Classroom
Some of your faculty may invite you to use generative AI tools in your classes (often with restrictions or limits) and some faculty may restrict their use entirely.
Your faculty should include a syllabus statement indicating what is allowed and what is not allowed. As with other unauthorized aid, failure to comply with class policies prohibiting generative AI use could be construed as an Honor Code violation, which could result in disciplinary action. If a professor has not specified their policy on generative AI use, you should assume that it is forbidden unless the professor grants you permission verbally or in writing. You are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of any work you submit, including any work that was created with support of an AI tool.
You Have Our Support
Middlebury is committed to helping our students engage critically with generative AI tools and to learn about their potential benefits and harms. We encourage you to participate in events and other learning opportunities that will deepen your understanding of generative AI tools.
