This study investigates the use of ChatGPT among FCIC students through a descriptive-correlational research design, examining not only the extent of usage but also the relationships between perceived ease of use, ethical concerns, and demographic factors. Findings show that most users are between 18 and 24 years old, with a higher proportion of female students, particularly those enrolled in Education, Business Administration, Criminology, and Information Technology programs. Students commonly utilize ChatGPT for idea generation and drafting, though many experience difficulties when working on complex tasks and express concerns related to plagiarism and misinformation. Correlational analyses (Spearman and Chi-square tests) reveal no significant differences in usage across age groups or academic programs, while notable differences in perceptions were observed based on sex. Overall, students acknowledge the educational value of ChatGPT and emphasize the need for clear institutional guidelines to ensure responsible and ethical use.
