Academic Integrity
Manchester Metropolitan University's 2025/26 Academic Misconduct Policy treats unauthorised generative AI use in assessment, where a student attempts to gain an unfair advantage by passing it off as their own work, as academic misconduct that may be investigated under the policy.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: unauthorised-ai-passing-off-may-be-academic-misconduct
Original evidence
Evidence 1Where a student has made unauthorised use of generative artificial intelligence within their assessment and has attempted to gain an unfair advantage by passing this work off as their own. The severity of the offence, and consequently the penalty, will depend on the student’s academic level, whether it is a first or subsequent offence, and the level of use.
Ai Tool Treatment
Manchester Metropolitan University tells students to check the assessment brief for specific instructions on generative AI, says they should only use AI as directed, and says they cannot use it to create the assessment itself.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: assessment-brief-specific-ai-use
Original evidence
Evidence 1You should always check the assessment brief for specific instructions. The key principles to work to are: Your work should always authentically represent your capabilities. You should never trust the outputs of generative AI uncritically. You cannot use it to create the assessment itself.

Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: no-online-ai-detection-upload-of-student-work
Original evidence
