No release-to-release policy diff rows are recorded for this university yet. The page still tracks current source-backed claims, official source attributions, review state, source freshness, and public JSON for discovery and citation.
This tracker is not legal advice, not academic integrity advice, and not an official university statement unless a linked source is the university's own official page.
Newly extracted claims are tracker additions and are not necessarily newly published by the university. Source snapshot changes show hash changes for the same source URL and are not by themselves policy changes.

2+privacy: Deakin research guidance says commercial genAI platforms may store data externally and researchers should use only non-sensitive, non-confidential content suitable for public or external use.
3+Evidence (en, 695308c4afd3): Commercial generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Bing and others store data externally. Once entered, your information may be retained, reused or accessed beyond your control, even if the platform offers options to delete or restrict access. To minimise risk, use only non-sensitive, non-confidential content that is suitable for public or external use.
4+ai_tool_treatment: Deakin identifies a set of approved genAI and digital learning tools for learning, including Deakin GEM, Studiosity+, Microsoft Copilot for web, and FeedbackFruits.
5+Evidence (en, 6e12c09bcb34): Deakin provides a set of endorsed generative AI (genAI) and digital learning tools to support teaching and learning in ways that are safe, ethical, and educationally sound. These tools have been formally evaluated and approved to align with Deakin's academic values, privacy and security obligations, and learning and teaching goals.
6+research: Deakin research guidance says HDR thesis use of generative AI is limited to copyediting and proofreading, with generated images allowed only where part of an approved methodology and fully disclosed.
7+Evidence (en, 695308c4afd3): Generative AI may be used for copyediting and proofreading thesis text only. Refer to the Institute for Professional Editors guidelines for what qualifies as copyediting and proofreading support. Using generative AI to create or manipulate images is not permitted in your thesis, unless image generation is part of your approved research methodology and fully disclosed.
8+academic_integrity: Deakin guidance says students should acknowledge genAI use where it contributed to developing assessment work and should include tool, access date, prompts, output, and where it was used.
9+Evidence (en, 092af377e157): Where you have used generative AI (genAI) in developing your assessment (for example, in the development of ideas, problem solving, data analysis, significant writing feedback) you should acknowledge your use of genAI. It is essential that you provide details about where and how you have used it.
10+academic_integrity: Deakin student guidance says genAI may be used as a starting point for some study tasks, but not to write the final assessment or do the work being assessed.
11+Evidence (en, 6df784e51b3a): You might use genAI as a starting point for writing (for example, a writing template) but never to write your final assessment. Never use genAI to do the work that you are being assessed on. It is your responsibility to write and create your own assessments.
12+teaching: Deakin has institution-level genAI principles and a genAI Steering Group coordinating guidance across learning and teaching, research, enterprise use, and digital services.
13+Evidence (en, 4c579fc1f685): Deakin's genAI Steering Group was established in 2023 to: oversee the uptake of genAI tools and associated activity; coordinate institutional guidelines for the use of genAI, with cross-reference to specific guidance for learning and teaching, research and enterprise use; consolidate advice from relevant teams in the Academic and Research and Innovation Portfolios and Digital Services on current practice, emerging issues and technologies.
