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 what you've written. Just make sure you keep a note of how you've used GenAI, so that you can acknowledge it afterwards. You won't lose marks just for having used GenAI. Category 3 is a lot like category 2, but there will also be some essential use of GenAI as part of the assessment.

However, use of the three categories is not a formal policy, but rather a resource to help staff and students communicate and understand expectations around use of GenAI in assessments. The final decision about how GenAI may or may not be used is up to the staff member setting the assessment.

Students are permitted to use GenAI tools in a limited, critical and responsible way. The student should still be the author of their own work – in other words, GenAI should be limited to supporting and assisting the student in completing the assessment, and should not be completing the assessment (entirely or only in part) on the student’s behalf.

Please note: These categories help staff to design, set and advise students on their assignments in a way that will enhance student learning. Staff can use these categories to help discuss how, how much, and where students can use GenAI in the assessment. However, use of the three categories is not a formal policy, but rather a resource to help staff and students communicate and understand expectations around use of GenAI in assessments.

The final decision about how GenAI may or may not be used is up to the staff member setting the assessment. Staff may, for example, specify a category and then apply further conditions, restrictions or permissions, but these must be clearly communicated to students (see Academic Manual 9.2.6c ).

Academic integrity is about fairness. If somebody gets an unfair advantage over other students, we consider this academic misconduct. This means that there's no single list of fair and unfair uses of GenAI – it always depends on the category of the assessment.

CLIE’s policy is based on UCL’s three categories of GenAI use in assessment. CLIE oral assessments and invigilated in-person assessments are category 1 unless otherwise stated: generative AI tools cannot be used. This is because the use of generative AI is wholly inappropriate for the skills to be assessed and the format in which they are assessed.

CLIE non-invigilated written assessments are category 2 : generative AI tools may only be used in an assistive role in the research and writing process (for example, brainstorming, in the background research stage, to help you recognise different perspectives and approaches to a subject, where output can be verified by authoritative sources) and should not undermine your learning. This means that generative AI should not be used to produce the substantive structure and content of your work.

However, for CLIE Modern Foreign Language modules, use of software (or any other third-party) for Language and Writing review is not permitted, because you are being assessed on your ability to translate or use a language other than English.

Please familiarise yourself with the UCL Library†library-guides.ucl.ac.uk guidance on acknowledging use of generative AI. This guidance explains the limitations of generative AI, why it is not an authoritative source, and sets out considerations when using generative AI. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools e.g.

The use of GenAI must be acknowledged in any piece of academic work where it has been used as a functional tool to assist in the process of creating the academic work, such as drafting ideas and planning or structuring written materials.

Instances where use of GenAI may not require acknowledgement include: familiarising oneself with a topic before refining your research process; reading an AI-generated summary of information from search results in a library research database to determine whether to proceed to consult the original sources, or using generative AI to summarise long or complex information to make it easier to review; helping to improve your grammar and writing structure.

Minimum requirement to include in acknowledgement: Name and version of the GenAI system used; e.g. Microsoft Copilot (version GPT-4); ChatGPT-3.5 Publisher (company that made the |GenAI system); e.g. Microsoft; OpenAI URL of the GenAI system. Brief description (single sentence) of context in which the tool was used. For example: I acknowledge the use of Microsoft Copilot (version GPT-4, Microsoft, https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat) to summarise my initial notes and to proofread my final draft.

Further requirements may be stipulated by a department, academic programme or individual teaching staff, or for a particular assignment, and must be made clear to students when an assignment is set. Additional requirements may include expanded description in an ‘Appendix’ or ‘Methods’ section, such as: If relevant, the prompt(s) used to generate a response in the GenAI system. The date the output was generated. The output obtained (e.g. a ‘link to chat’ if ChatGPT, or a compilation of all output generated as an appendix). How the output was changed for use or incorporation into a piece of work (e.g. a tracked-changes document or a descriptive paragraph).

A GenAI tool cannot be classed as an author – it cannot take responsibility for its work, nor does it generate original ideas but reproduces ideas found elsewhere. A primary function of a reference list is so the reader can refer to the original source, which is not possible with AI generated content. This proposal therefore favours the approach of most academic publishers (1-3), which stipulates GenAI systems should not be cited as an author nor included as a source in the reference list.

Where a student or researcher is required to use a standard referencing style which has specific rules for citing and referencing GenAI, the rules of the citation style should be followed, in addition to acknowledging the use of GenAI as outlined above. This may require the use of in-text citations and reference list entries where the GenAI tool is listed as an author. E.g. APA, Chicago.

3. The purpose of the Investigatory Viva is to establish the student’s authorship of the submitted work and make a decision on the case when it is Minor. For Major cases it is to determine whether there is prima facie evidence to support lack of authorship for further consideration at an Academic Misconduct Panel (via the Casework Team).

This means that, unlike other AI tools, you can use Studiosity with confidence that it is supporting your learning. Studiosity, uses a ‘closed system’ AI, so your work remains your own and will not be used to train AI.

UCL is not investing in GenAI detection software. Staff must not submit student work into such tools, including GenAI themselves, as this may compromise students' intellectual property and personal data rights.

In addition to concerns about students’ personal data rights, there is not yet sufficient evidence that GenAI is able to contribute effectively and without bias to the process of marking student work. As a result, staff should not use GenAI to mark student work.

UCL does not use GenAI detectors when marking. Instead, if a marker has any concerns about your work, they’ll usually request a quick chat to get more information. Please don’t be offended if you’re asked to have a talk with your marker – it doesn’t mean you’re under suspicion or in trouble.

CLIE’s policy is based on UCL’s three categories of GenAI use in assessment. CLIE oral assessments and invigilated in-person assessments are category 1 unless otherwise stated: generative AI tools cannot be used. This is because the use of generative AI is wholly inappropriate for the skills to be assessed and the format in which they are assessed.

CLIE non-invigilated written assessments are category 2 : generative AI tools may only be used in an assistive role in the research and writing process (for example, brainstorming, in the background research stage, to help you recognise different perspectives and approaches to a subject, where output can be verified by authoritative sources) and should not undermine your learning. This means that generative AI should not be used to produce the substantive structure and content of your work.
