[Notice] 2026 Fall Semester Midterm Examinations
Prevention of Academic Misconduct and Ethical Use of Generative AI

To promote a fair and trustworthy assessment environment, please observe the following guidelines during the midterm examination period in accordance with Kookmin University’s AI Code of Ethics.

1. Basic Principles

• Course-specific guidelines take priority: Whether generative AI may be used—including full prohibition or partial permission—varies by course. Please check the syllabus and your instructor’s prior instructions.

• Students bear final responsibility: Each student is academically and ethically responsible for any errors or distortions in AI-generated responses submitted under their name.

• Independent thinking: Generative AI is a supplementary learning tool and must not replace a student’s own creative inquiry and critical thinking.

2. Major Types of Academic Misconduct

The following acts are considered serious academic misconduct and may result in strict disciplinary action under university regulations and the AI Code of Ethics.

• Using AI to generate and submit answers without prior approval from the instructor

• Failing to disclose the AI tool and prompts used when AI use is permitted for an assignment or examination

• Intentionally altering AI-generated content to evade AI-detection programs

• Possessing or using unauthorized electronic devices during an examination, including smartphones, smartwatches, wireless earphones, and smart glasses

• Other misconduct specified in the University Regulations and Academic Regulations

3. How to Cite AI Use When Permitted

If an instructor officially permits the use of AI for take-home examinations or other assignment-based assessments, students must state the details of their AI use at the end of their submission.

Example:
ChatGPT-4o. (YYYY.MM.DD). “[Prompt: Summarize the limitations of OO theory].”

Please review these guidelines carefully and follow your instructor’s directions to avoid any academic disadvantage.
