Coursework & Written Assignments

Instructor Discretion (Drafting Prohibited in GE)

CUHK delegates generative AI policy to course instructors. In Chung Chi College General Education (GECC3130/4130, AY2026/27), Approach 2 is mandated: drafting is prohibited, spelling/grammar checking is allowed (subject to Senate General Education approval), and AI Index > 25% may receive a failing course grade.

Official source ↗

Examinations & Tests

Unverified Central Policy (Follow Exam Instructions)

A university-wide policy on generative AI in formal examinations has not been established in public evidence; the central Student Guide to Academic Honesty is gated behind ADFS SSO. Students must follow specific invigilator instructions.

Official source ↗

Declaration & Disclosure

Signed Declaration in GECC4130 (Central Rule Unverified)

In verified courses (such as GECC4130), students must sign and submit an academic honesty declaration acknowledging awareness of AI detection (VeriGuide AWD). University-wide declaration and prompt-logging requirements remain unverified behind Student Guide SSO.

Official source ↗

Data Privacy & Confidentiality

Strict Prohibition on Sensitive Data Uploads

CUHK's Enterprise AI Hub instructs users not to enter personal data, confidential information, restricted research data or other protected University information unless the specific service and use case have been approved for that data.

Official source ↗

Officially Endorsed Tools

Copilot Basic/Premium, Gemini Enterprise, API Portal

Centrally provisioned tools include Microsoft Copilot Chat (Basic, free for all students/staff with institutional sign-in) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (Premium, centrally allocated to eligible teaching staff and management; other units require departmental funding). CUHK AI Chatbot learning/teaching services are legacy services scheduled for retirement on 31 January 2027 for transition only. Generative AI API Portal access requires application, use-case review, and funding/quota. Perplexity Enterprise is planned but not currently available.

Research & Theses

Schedule 11 Login Required (Full Text Unverified)

CUHK Library guides link to 'Guidelines on the Responsible Use of AI for Research' in Schedule 11 of the Research Policy, which requires CUHK staff/RPG login; full research policy text is unverified.

Academic Integrity & Penalties

Senate Misconduct Policy (Zero Marks to Expulsion)

A CUHK student may lodge a written appeal with full justifications against a first-instance disciplinary decision or recommendation made by a faculty/college disciplinary committee or FTP Committee to the Senate Committee on Student Discipline (SCSD) THROUGH the first-instance committee within 7 working days of notification under Senate procedures (effective from AY2025-26, updated July 2026). For disciplinary cases handled directly by the Senate Committee on Student Discipline (such as exceptionally serious cases or recommended penalties lower than guidelines), students may lodge a written appeal with full justifications DIRECTLY to the Senate Committee on Student Discipline within 7 working days of notification under Senate procedures (effective from AY2025-26, updated July 2026).

Teaching & Assessment Design

Human Accountability & Assessment Redesign

AI Governance & API Procurement

API Portal application review (No universal mandate)

CUHK's Generative AI API Portal provides controlled programmatic access to approved models and services. Access is by application, separately governed and subject to use-case and security review, with charges subject to an approved central quota or an eligible programme, course, project, research or unit funding source.

Before you submit

Do

  • Check individual course outlines and follow the assigned AI Approach (e.g. Approach 2 "Use only with prior permission" in Chung Chi College courses GECC3130/4130).
    Source guidance
  • In Chung Chi College course GECC4130 (AY2026/27), submit a signed academic honesty declaration with each assignment acknowledging that work may be investigated by AI detection software (VeriGuide AWD); for other courses, follow individual course declaration instructions as the general Student Guide remains restricted behind SSO.
    Requirement in this scope
  • Use centrally supported Microsoft Copilot Chat (Basic) with CUHK login credentials to ensure commercial data protection, subject to individual course-level instructions.
    Source guidance

Don’t

  • Do not draft whole assignments using generative AI where prohibited by course policy (Approach 2).
    Requirement in this scope
  • Do not input protected data unless the specific service and use case have been approved for that data.
    Requirement in this scope
  • Do not rely on unverified research guidelines; note Schedule 11 requires staff/RPG login.

AI use questioned?

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Audience and activity scope varies by source: course outlines determine coursework permissions (Approach 2 with drafting ban verified in Chung Chi General Education); signed declaration rules apply to verified GE courses; Enterprise AI Hub rules restrict personal and confidential data entry across all users; Copilot Basic covers all students and staff via SSO; Research Policy Schedule 11 governs research students behind login.

Investigation & response

Possible outcomes

At CUHK, improper or unauthorized use of AI tools in learning activities and assessments constitutes academic dishonesty (including plagiarism or unauthorized third-party assistance) under Senate policy (effective from AY2025-26, updated July 2026), subject to penalties ranging from zero marks to demerits, suspension, or termination of studies, adjudicated by the course-offering faculty/college or the Faculty of Medicine Fitness to Practice (FTP) Committee.

Penalties for academic dishonesty involving AI tools at CUHK may include zero marks on the assessment, marking down of overall course grade, a demerit recorded on academic transcript, or course failure (e.g. assignments with VeriGuide AWD AI Index > 25% under Approach 2 in GECC3130/4130 may receive a failing grade), and for severe offences, suspension or termination of studies under Senate procedures (effective from AY2025-26, updated July 2026).

uapt-cuhk-20260510-cl-003
Students should use VeriGuide AWD to check the AI index of their assignments before submission. As a general rule, a higher AI Index indicates a lower level of student effort. If an assignment’s AI Index exceeds 25%, the assignment may receive a failing grade. Students should also be aware that they bear the risk of being suspected of using AI to complete their assignments. Teachers reserve the right to report such cases to the College Student Discipline Committee.

        Questions students ask

        Questions students ask

        Can I use AI for my coursework?

        CUHK delegates generative AI policy to course instructors. In Chung Chi College General Education (GECC3130/4130, AY2026/27), Approach 2 is mandated: drafting is prohibited, spelling/grammar checking is allowed (subject to Senate General Education approval), and AI Index > 25% may receive a failing course grade.

        View evidence →
        Do I need to disclose AI use?

        In verified courses (such as GECC4130), students must sign and submit an academic honesty declaration acknowledging awareness of AI detection (VeriGuide AWD). University-wide declaration and prompt-logging requirements remain unverified behind Student Guide SSO.

        View evidence →
        Can I upload sensitive data?

        CUHK's Enterprise AI Hub instructs users not to enter personal data, confidential information, restricted research data or other protected University information unless the specific service and use case have been approved for that data.

        View evidence →
        Which tools can I access?

        Centrally provisioned tools include Microsoft Copilot Chat (Basic, free for all students/staff with institutional sign-in) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (Premium, centrally allocated to eligible teaching staff and management; other units require departmental funding). CUHK AI Chatbot learning/teaching services are legacy services scheduled for retirement on 31 January 2027 for transition only. Generative AI API Portal access requires application, use-case review, and funding/quota. Perplexity Enterprise is planned but not currently available.

        View evidence →
        What are the examination rules?

        A university-wide policy on generative AI in formal examinations has not been established in public evidence; the central Student Guide to Academic Honesty is gated behind ADFS SSO. Students must follow specific invigilator instructions.
