Unless explicitly authorised, using AI to create assessed work may be treated as an offence such as contract cheating under Imperial’s Plagiarism, Academic Integrity & Exam Offences regulations.

Breaches may lead to action under Academic Misconduct (students) and HR/disciplinary processes (staff), as well as Information Security and Data Protection policies. Sanctions may include removal of access, grade penalties, or formal disciplinary measures.

We would like to reassure students that Imperial does not use Turnitin's AI writing detection tool as part of its assessment processes. Decisions relating to academic integrity are made by staff using academic judgement and evidence, and following our institution policies.

To make an appeal you must submit the appeal form below to student.appeals@imperial.ac.uk within the deadline you have been given and including all documentation regarding the allegation and decision. You should also include any additional documentation that is relevant to the details of your appeal statement.

i) Assessment-related use- Individual departments may allow or prohibit GenAI for specific assessments; local (team/department/faculty) instructions take precedence. Always check the brief and acknowledge permitted AI use as directed.

It complements, and does not replace, existing Imperial policies on academic integrity, assessment, research ethics, information security, GenAI, and data protection. Where there is any conflict, University policy prevails.

A statement of acknowledgment shows the reader which AI tool you used and for what specific purpose. You should include a statement to acknowledge your use of generative AI tools for all assessed work, in accordance with guidelines from your department or course team.

근거 위치 찾기: Acknowledging and referencing use; captured normalized text line 00289

Expectations regarding the disclosure or acknowledgement of GenAI use vary across disciplines, assessments, publishers, funders, and professional contexts. Students and staff should therefore familiarise themselves with any applicable requirements and ensure that their use of GenAI is appropriately documented where required.

ii) Academic integrity and referencing - Where GenAI use is permitted for assessed work, acknowledge it (e.g., tool, version, prompt approach). Improper use can be investigated under University Academic Misconduct procedures [PDF].

When communicating externally, do not present dAIsy outputs as Imperial’s position without approval. For assessed work where AI use is permitted, be transparent about how you used AI.

These principles are intended to provide a starting point for approaches to using generative AI in teaching, learning and assessment at Imperial. Imperial supports the use of the principles to frame and underpin activities university-wide as we as a community explore the use of generative AI, progress and develop policy, and establish guidelines.

근거 위치 찾기: Generative AI Principles introduction; captured normalized text line 00731

Respect - We value each other’s perspectives and encourage an environment where everyone can grow, pursue opportunities, and express their individuality, ensuring generative AI is used to empower, rather than diminish, individual experience, perspective and contributions.

근거 위치 찾기: Captured normalized text line 00737

Collaboration - We work together to cultivate inclusive, impactful and community-driven generative AI applications and solutions.

근거 위치 찾기: Captured normalized text line 00738

Excellence - We employ generative AI carefully to enhance our impact, making a positive difference and taking personal responsibility for its effective use, maintaining the highest level of quality in our work.

Integrity - We act in a principled way with generative AI and inspire trust in our actions by using it responsibly, ethically, and transparently, while addressing challenges with honesty and openness.

Innovation - We approach the opportunities that generative AI brings with an open mind, exploring new ideas and continuously adapting to its rapidly evolving potential, within a culture of innovation, as outlined in Imperial’s Science for Humanity Strategy .

Staff and students can use dAIsy as you would use other Imperial approved applications and services regarding the use of data. For example, you can input data into dAIsy as you would when using applications in your Imperial Microsoft 365 account.

You should ensure you sign in to use Copilot so that you are using the secure version of Microsoft Copilot with Commercial Data Protection.

Your data is protected and the chat results are NOT saved or made available for Microsoft, so the data does not pass outside of the organisation.

Microsoft Copilot Chat prompts and responses are processed within the Microsoft 365 service boundary, which offers enterprise data protection . This means that security, privacy, and compliance controls and commitments available for Microsoft Copilot also extend to Copilot Chat. Prompts and responses aren't used to train the underlying foundation models.

Logging : Before sending the response back to the user, both the prompt and response are logged and stored in Exchange for auditing/eDiscovery (Microsoft 365 tenant).

To help improve the quality of responses, Copilot Chat can use web search queries sent to the Bing search service to ground responses in the latest information from the web.

근거 위치 찾기: Captured normalized text line 00047

The Bing search service operates separately from Microsoft 365 and has different data-handling practices from those used for prompts and responses. These data-handling practices are covered by the Microsoft Services Agreement between each user and Microsoft, together with the Microsoft Privacy Statement . This means that Microsoft acts as an independent data controller responsible for complying with all applicable laws and controller obligations. This approach is consistent with other optional connected experiences that rely on Bing .

Following significant feedback from the UK higher education sector regarding data privacy and institutional contracts, Turnitin has deferred the changes until at least the next academic year (2027-28). As a result, there are no changes to how Turnitin is used at Imperial during the current academic year (2026-27) but will we use this year to continue to engage with Turnitin regarding any changes they are planning to understand the implications for our community.
