Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools Available to RCNJ

This page provides the latest guidance on use of AI tools on campus, their availability, and the status of the College’s stance on AI.

Policy & Guidance

RCNJ provides structured guidance on the use of AI tools across different contexts.

• For an overview of the College’s general stance on AI in the workplace, see the statement titled Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Workplace. In short, users must not upload or submit any personal or sensitive information when using any AI tool.
• Faculty can find specific guidance tailored to teaching and research through the Instructional Design Center’s Teaching with AI site, which outlines responsible and ethical integration in academic settings.
• For insights from the broader academic perspective, including best practices and considerations for scholarly work and integrity considerations, refer to the Provost’s site Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning.

These resources collectively offer a framework for thoughtful and informed use of AI tools in professional and educational contexts. All existing policies, state regulations, and standards still apply, such as Ramapo’s Data Protection Policy.

Disclaimer

AI tools may not always be accurate and do not necessarily reflect official positions. Some tools can also contain biases. For critical matters—such as medical, legal, or financial decisions—always consult a qualified professional.

Available RCNJ Tools

Through their Ramapo accounts, faculty, staff, and students have access to Google’s Gemini and NotebookLM as primary AI tools. Microsoft’s Copilot is also available, and OpenAI individual free accounts are permitted; however, the College is not providing additional paid accounts for either at this time.

While these AI tools are available for use, they do not supersede or alter any instructor’s established course requirements, guidelines, or directives. See instructor’s course syllabus or course site (e.g., Canvas) for individual course instructions.
