FAQ

Questions teams ask before using this guide

Is this a legal policy document?

It is an operational policy starting point. Schools should adapt it to their local legal, privacy, and accreditation obligations before publishing it internally.

Can the policy support safe AI use instead of banning it?

Yes. The structure separates allowed, restricted, and human-review-required workflows so staff get useful guidance without uncontrolled student-data risk.
