Ten US university guidance snapshots with official sources, scope, short excerpts and review dates.

Read the scope before the rule

This starter covers ten US institutions, not every university. A teaching-center example is not a course permission. Your school, program and assignment rules may differ; ask your instructor before using a tool when the rule is unclear.

“Not stated” means the reviewed page does not answer that question. It does not mean permission. Follow the official link for changes since our review. Schools do not endorse this directory.
