University of Dayton has no explicit AI policy for undergraduate or graduate admissions essays. The School of Law JD program is the sole exception: its application page explicitly states personal statements must be 'uniquely your own with no assistance in its creation from external sources (including AI) beyond basic proofreading or general critiquing.' This Law School policy maps to (P3) (basic proofreading and general critiquing allowed, but AI cannot assist in creating the statement). The former academic integrity page at /ltc/resources/integrity.php now redirects to an error page. UD does not recommend AI detection software per its online learning blog. Overall university classification remains (P0) due to absence of admissions-specific AI guidance outside the Law School.
