Reviewed policy snapshot

At NUS, follow the specific assessment rule, acknowledge or cite AI use, use only NUS-approved tools when NUS data is involved, and do not treat an NUS service listing as blanket permission.

Do

  • Read the assignment instructions and acknowledge or cite AI use as required.
  • Check whether the assessment is supervised and follow its stated AI rule.
  • Cite AI-generated content using the applicable style guidance.

Don't

  • Do not submit AI output as your own without acknowledgement.
  • Do not assume the take-home default applies to an assessment with a contrary rule.
  • Do not omit acknowledgement when AI contributed to submitted work.

Audience

For students · Coursework, exams, and disclosure

Reviewed material is available for this audience.

Coursework & assignments

Conditional

NUS treats unacknowledged AI output presented as a student’s own work as plagiarism and separately requires citation guidance to be followed. Scope: teaching-and-learning policy and student citation guidance.

Scope: Mixed scopeAssignment
Reviewed evidence & official sources

Reviewed evidence

NUS policy states that representing AI output as one's own work without acknowledgement is plagiarism; students who submit AI-generated work without acknowledging its use can be sanctioned for academic dishonesty.
Agent reviewed
Representing an AI's output as your own work, without any acknowledgement that you have used such a tool, is plagiarism. A student found to have submitted work generated by AI but failed to acknowledge their use of AI can still be sanctioned for plagiarism, assuming the case can be made.
NUS requires students to cite AI-generated content according to style guide conventions and to check assignment guidelines for specific AI use instructions.
Agent reviewed
Important! Always check your assignment guidelines for specific instructions on use of AI in your assignment. ... If you intend to publish your work, do note that in addition to style guides for citation, you may need to consult publishers' policies for using AI tools or including AI-generated content in writing.

Exams & assessment

Conditional

NUS sets a default that AI use is permitted for unsupervised take-home assessments when acknowledged; assessments forbidding AI must be in-person and supervised. Scope: NUS policy, subject to the specific assessment.

Scope: Mixed scopeExam
Reviewed evidence & official sources

Reviewed evidence

NUS policy sets the default assumption that AI tool use is permitted for unsupervised (take-home) assessments, provided use is duly acknowledged; assessments forbidding AI must be conducted in-person and instructor-supervised.
Agent reviewed
Conversely, the default assumption for any unsupervised (e.g., 'take home') assessment task is that the use of AI tools is permitted so long as the use is duly acknowledged. ... If the decision is that students should be forbidden from using AI tools for an assessment (for pedagogical reasons), then crucial aspects of that assessment should be conducted in-person and instructor-supervised.

Disclosure & citation
