AI Acknowledgement

Universities / University of Notre Dame Australia

University of Notre Dame Australia AI acknowledgement

At Notre Dame, using generative AI in an assessment without explicit permission is an academic integrity breach. When AI is authorised, students must include a written statement of acknowledgement naming the tool, how it was used, the prompts and how the outputs were used, and also cite it using their school's referencing style.

The rules at a glance

When you need one
When use of Gen-AI has been explicitly allowed or required in an assessment and you use it (check the course outline or Blackboard site).
Where it goes
A written statement of acknowledgement in the assessment; the course coordinator provides guidance on how to acknowledge. The APA guide also suggests describing use in the method section or introduction, with long responses in an appendix called out in the text.
Prompts and outputs
The statement must list the prompts used. The APA guide says to include a record of each question/prompt, the date and the response, and full text of long responses can go in an appendix.
Referencing
Use your school's style guide (AGLC, APA, Chicago, AMA/Vancouver) for in-text and end-text references. APA: in-text (OpenAI, 2023) or OpenAI (2023); reference "OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat". Interim APA appendix wording: "In an online chat with ChatGPT (April 06, 2023) ... In answer to the question ..., ChatGPT (April 06, 2023) gave the following response ..."
Must include
  • the Gen-AI technology or tool used
  • how the tool was used
  • list of prompts used
  • brief description of how the outputs were used in your work
Also note
  • using Gen-AI in an assessment without explicit authorisation is a breach of academic integrity under the Academic Integrity Policy
  • getting software including generative AI to produce the work (unless expressly allowed) counts as contract cheating/misconduct
  • check the course outline or Blackboard site for whether and how AI may be used
  • critically evaluate AI output
