• cl-university-of-oxford-chatgpt-21 — Oxford’s public AI Competency Centre tool guide lists ChatGPT Edu as a University SSO platform with a Confidential TPSA rating. Standard access is listed as free; Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Gemini Pro are separate paid products. The guide has moved to OxIntranet and is no longer maintained; check successor guidance for current terms. Tool access is not assessment permission.
• cl-university-of-oxford-codex-22 — Oxford’s public AI Competency Centre tool guide lists Codex as a University SSO platform with a Confidential TPSA rating. Standard access is listed as free; Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Gemini Pro are separate paid products. The guide has moved to OxIntranet and is no longer maintained; check successor guidance for current terms. Tool access is not assessment permission.
• cl-university-of-oxford-gemini-23 — Oxford’s public AI Competency Centre tool guide lists Google Gemini as a University SSO platform with a Confidential TPSA rating. Standard access is listed as free; Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Gemini Pro are separate paid products. The guide has moved to OxIntranet and is no longer maintained; check successor guidance for current terms. Tool access is not assessment permission.
• cl-university-of-oxford-microsoft-copilot-24 — Oxford’s public AI Competency Centre tool guide lists Microsoft Copilot Chat as a University SSO platform with a Confidential TPSA rating. Standard access is listed as free; Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Gemini Pro are separate paid products. The guide has moved to OxIntranet and is no longer maintained; check successor guidance for current terms. Tool access is not assessment permission.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-assessment-staff-duties — Staff setting summative assessment must: declare whether/how students can use AI; review assessment design for alignment with permitted AI use; ensure equality of baseline AI tool provision where authorised; specify declaration forms for student AI use; only identify suspected unauthorised AI use through marking or university-endorsed detection tools (the public page says none had received endorsement at its last update); and handle misconduct under usual disciplinary regulations.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-pgr-declaration-requirement — MPLS guidance for DPhil and MSc by Research summative assessment requires a statement on GenAI use in the final thesis for submissions from Trinity Term 2026. The statement goes immediately after the abstract and covers compliance, uses and referencing. This is MPLS guidance, not proof of an identical rule in every division.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-assessment-student-duties — Students undertaking summative assessment must: complete assessment in line with the AI use declaration for each assignment; acknowledge their AI use via a formal declaration in the prescribed format; and understand that submitting work breaching AI specifications constitutes cheating and may constitute plagiarism, handled under usual disciplinary regulations.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-three-principles — The University's policy on AI use in summative assessment is based on three principles endorsed by Education Committee in Trinity term 2025: (1) educational practice must be grounded in values of integrity, honesty and transparency, which must be clearly articulated and frequently discussed; (2) every discrete unit of assessment must be carefully designed to be fit for its specific purposes, clearly articulated to students; (3) every summative assessment must be accompanied by a clear explanation of what appropriate assistance is permitted and what is forbidden, specifying how students should report assistance received.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-security-risk-assessment — The former Oxford public Information Security URL cited for cloud-AI security assessment now says the content has moved. The earlier recorded guidance is historical and is not current approval or prohibition. Consult successor Cyber Security/OxIntranet guidance; current detailed conditions could not be independently retrieved.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-approved-platforms-confidential — The public Oxford AI Competency Centre guide lists ChatGPT Edu, Codex, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot Chat with Confidential TPSA ratings and University SSO. It now states that the public guide is no longer maintained and points to successor University guidance. This does not approve GitHub Copilot or personal consumer accounts.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-pgr-prohibited-uses — MPLS postgraduate research guidance prohibits substantive AI-written thesis content, including close paraphrases, and producing plots or data visualisations directly from prompts. It distinguishes refining plotting code from generating research results. Confidential/private data use remains subject to applicable University data rules and approved institutional services.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-custom-gpt-rules — The former Oxford public Information Security URL cited for external custom GPT use now says the content has moved. The earlier recorded guidance is historical and is not current approval or prohibition. Consult successor Cyber Security/OxIntranet guidance; current detailed conditions could not be independently retrieved.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-transcription-bots — The former Oxford public Information Security URL cited for AI transcription bots now says the content has moved. The earlier recorded guidance is historical and is not current approval or prohibition. Consult successor Cyber Security/OxIntranet guidance; current detailed conditions could not be independently retrieved.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-pgr-permitted-uses — For MPLS postgraduate research summative assessment, local editing and debugging tools are permitted without declaration. Background research, translation, bibliography indexes and general understanding are allowed without declaration. AI coding is permitted when it serves a research purpose and is not the substantive project output; students remain responsible for correctness and should declare AI-generated code, excluding debugging.
• clm-university-of-oxford-ai-plagiarism-guidance — Oxford’s public summative-assessment policy says work breaching the assignment’s AI specifications constitutes cheating and may constitute plagiarism; suspected misuse is handled under usual disciplinary regulations and processes. It does not establish an AI-specific penalty.
• clm-university-of-oxford-research-genai-substantive-use-2026 — Oxford’s research policy says users of a discrete GenAI tool should declare substantive use in their work. Where relevant they must make prompts and outputs available under open research principles. Its scope defines exclusions for certain assistance tasks; assessment research must also meet summative-assessment rules.
