Source: Liberty University: Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity (faculty guidance), last checked 2026-10-13. This page paraphrases; the policy governs.
What Liberty allows
- AI tools are not banned as a category; follow each course's instructions
What Liberty prohibits
- Submitting AI-generated text

Do you have to disclose AI use at Liberty?
Liberty has no general disclosure rule; individual courses may add one, so check the syllabus.
Disclosure line in Liberty's shape
AI-use disclosure: I used an AI writing coach to brainstorm structure, check APA 7 formatting, and review my draft against the rubric. The ideas, analysis, and final wording are my own.
When are Liberty discussion posts due?
- Initial post: thursday by 11:59 PM ET
- Replies (2): sunday by 11:59 PM ET
- Initial post length: 300 to 400 words
- Reply length: 150+ words
Deadline and length figures for Liberty come from course documents rather than a published policy page; confirm them in your syllabus.
How the coach stays inside this policy
- You write the point and your stance first; the coach develops them and never generates from nothing.
- The classmate's post is never pasted in; you summarise it in your own words in a 400-character field.
- Every citation comes from a verified DOI; the reference list is built from the journal's metadata.
- The disclosure line above is added to every draft, and a session transcript is one click away.
