1227 ## Newly extracted tracker claim
1328 This claim was newly extracted or newly promoted in the tracker release. It is not necessarily newly published by the university.
29+academic_integrity: University of Limerick assessment guidance states that use of AI in an unauthorized manner is a breach of academic integrity, and that use not permitted by the module leader is a breach of academic integrity.
30+Evidence (en, 895db1df092c): The Academic Integrity Policy and the Procedures for Managing Allegations of Academic Misconduct, available on the UL Policy hub, indicate that it is a breach of academic integrity if AI is used in an unauthorised manner. In other words, it is the responsibility of the module leader/equivalent to decide and communicate the level of acceptable use of AI to students i.e. to determine what is authorised/unauthorised use.

How to read this diff
Tracker release metadata, not direct proof of university publication timing.
Newly extracted claims are tracker additions and are not necessarily newly published by the university. Source snapshot changes mean the same URL produced a different hash; that may be policy text, layout, navigation, or metadata.
Boundary
Tracker metadata only
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.
