AI disclosure
How to disclose AI use in a college paper
The safest disclosure is specific: what tool, what purpose, what you reviewed and what the prompt permits.
The risk just before submission
US classroom policies vary by course, instructor and assignment, so generic AI advice can be misleading.
What SafeRender checks
SafeRender compares the prompt, draft and sources so the remaining review work is visible before you submit.
- Read the assignment prompt
- State the tool and purpose
- Keep authorship responsibility
- Use the required disclosure format
Example of a possible signal
Example: using AI for outline ideas is different from submitting generated prose.
Three-step workflow
The workflow is kept short so you can spend the remaining time fixing the draft.
- Identify the actual use.
- Check the course rule.
- Write a factual disclosure if required.
Limits and institution rules
The report is indicative. SafeRender does not write the paper, does not guarantee a grade, is not an AI detector and never overrides your instructor, professor or college policy.
Document privacy
In demo mode, SafeRender extracts text for a limited analysis and does not store uploaded files as files. Account reports and service metadata are retained where needed to provide history, checkout access and paid features.
Frequently asked questions
Does SafeRender decide if my AI use is allowed?
No. Your instructor and institution decide.
Can SafeRender draft a disclosure?
It can provide an indicative statement from your answers, which you must review.
