46 ## Newly extracted tracker claim
57 This claim was newly extracted or newly promoted in the tracker release. It is not necessarily newly published by the university.
8+academic_integrity: UCL uses a 3-category assessment framework for GenAI: Category 1 requires own work only; Category 2 permits GenAI with acknowledgement; Category 3 includes essential GenAI use as part of the assessment.
9+Evidence (en, c30c4bfc90ed): For Category 1, you might use GenAI tools to help you revise and prepare, but the work you complete for the assessment should be your own. In Category 2, you could use GenAI to get ideas, help draft your work, or even proofread... Category 3 is a lot like category 2, but there will also be some essential use of GenAI.
