AI for Student Success
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are powerful tools that are growing more common even as we continue learning more about their abilities and limitations. We encourage students to keep this key question in mind when deciding how to use AI:
Am I using AI in a way that helps me learn and develop mastery?
Read the George Fox University AI statement and follow these guidelines from the statement:
- Exercise responsibility for the content you create and stay engaged in the learning process (with or without AI).
- Check for instructor permission about AI use (related to learning outcomes of class activities/assignments).
- Where permission exists, make sure to disclose any use of AI for class activities or assignments (by formal citation, less formal attribution, and/or a framing statement as appropriate).
- If an instructor has not explicitly invited use of AI, ask permission before utilizing AI for ANY assignments.
Watch the "How to use ChatGPT and other AI tools as a college student...WITHOUT CHEATING" video for more guidance and examples.
Note: AI systems can provide incomplete or false information ("hallucinations"). Double-check any AI output and be sure the responses make sense and you understand any steps that are presented. You are ultimately responsible for your learning and the accuracy of information.

Numerade - A virtual learning platform specializing in STEM education with Ace, an AI tutor built on leading AI models.
Goblin.Tools - A collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult. Tools include an expandable to-do list, project time estimator, and explainer.
Large Language Models (LLMs) - General AI tools that can generate and respond to human language, offering personalized academic support, but they may sometimes provide incorrect or incomplete information. Different tools have different strengths; research and test what will work best to support your learning goals. Here are some common LLMs:
Prompt engineering is a practice that will help you get the most out of common AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Co-Pilot, and Gemini. Take a few minutes to review these resources for insight into effective prompt engineering to support your learning.

| Numerade is a virtual learning platform specializing in STEM education. The system offers video lessons for selected textbook questions, custom video answers from educators, several study tools, and Ace, an AI tutor built on ChatGPT Plus. Although the textbooks are primarily for STEM subjects, Ace can be used for any subject. |
We encourage you to make use of Ace since it promotes engagement for learning instead of just giving answers. See the Numerade User Guide for more information, including user support options.
