University of Wollongong tells students to use UOW-approved tools such as Microsoft Copilot with enterprise data protection.
University of Wollongong tells students to acknowledge generative AI use where appropriate.
University of Wollongong warns that uploading personal, sensitive, or confidential information to generative AI may compromise privacy.
University of Wollongong says students must verify generative AI outputs against reliable sources.
UOW's Subject Delivery Policy requires assessment information in each Subject Outline to include a statement indicating whether and how generative artificial intelligence tools can be used in the subject, including for each assessment task.
UOW's Assessment and Feedback Policy says staff are not permitted to upload student work to third-party tools, including GenAI or misconduct detection software, in the context of privacy and data policies.
UOW's Academic Integrity Policy lists misuse of generative artificial intelligence technology as academic misconduct when work is generated by an unauthorised AI tool without subject coordinator permission, or when permitted AI-generated work lacks appropriate acknowledgement.
UOW states that misusing GenAI in assessments includes use where it is prohibited or beyond assessment instructions, and that misuse constitutes academic misconduct under University policy.
UOW tells students to check the Subject Outline or subject Moodle site before using GenAI in an assessment task, because those sources specify the permitted extent of GenAI use and acknowledgement instructions.
UOW's student guidance recommends Microsoft Copilot when students use GenAI and says Copilot's Enterprise Data Protection means prompts and responses are encrypted and not retained by Microsoft to train its products.
UOW's Learning and Teaching Hub FAQ encourages academics to discuss AI technologies with students and allow appropriate use in assessments, while noting that implementation varies by discipline, assessment type, and other factors.
