Coursework

Subject to the applicable conditions

AI tools are permitted by default for unsupervised take-home coursework with mandatory disclosure. Work must be the student's own, and quality is evaluated independently of AI use. Course designers hold pedagogical discretion to tailor rules based on learning outcomes.

Official source ↗

Exams

Scope-specific restrictions

If instructors decide students should be forbidden from using AI for an assessment (for pedagogical reasons), crucial aspects of that assessment should be conducted in person and under instructor supervision. AI detector verdicts are inadmissible as evidence in disciplinary processes or to penalize work.

Official source ↗

Disclosure

Disclosure requirements and exceptions

Explicit acknowledgement of AI assistance is required for all submitted academic work where AI was used, specifying the tool and nature of assistance according to style guide conventions and course guidelines.

Official source ↗

Privacy & sensitive data

Scope-specific restrictions

Instructors should use NUS-approved AI tools whenever NUS data is involved (Section 2.3). ChatGPT Edu provides a university-managed workspace where conversations and data are not used to train OpenAI models; however, uploading sensitive, confidential, or legally protected university data is NOT verified as approved without specific institutional data classification. In no circumstances should AI tool accounts be shared; using a shared account may raise collusion concerns and, where misconduct is established, may result in disciplinary action.

Institutional tools

Subject to the applicable conditions

ChatGPT Edu is announced for campus-wide availability to all students, staff, and faculty starting 31 August 2026. In-house AI-Know tools are primarily staff-focused, while students have access to CFG AI-Xplore via the Marketplace tab, and AI Sense Maker was announced (scheduled 20 August 2026) for research literature discovery. Tool access does not constitute course assessment permission.

Official source ↗

Research & publication

Important conditions remain unverified

University-wide policy on AI use in research remains unverified/unknown from current official guidance. Specific domain guidance is established for publisher submissions and citation: submissions to NUS Press strictly forbid AI-generated text, polishing, and AI-generated images/diagrams, requiring detailed disclosure upon submission; NUS Libraries advises consulting specific publisher policies and style guides for research writing.

Academic integrity

Scope-specific restrictions

Submitting unacknowledged AI-generated work constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty under the Code of Student Conduct. AI detector verdicts are inadmissible as evidence in disciplinary processes or to penalize work (Section 2.6). Account sharing is strictly prohibited under any circumstances; using a shared account may raise collusion concerns and, where misconduct is established, may result in disciplinary action (Section 3).

Official source ↗

Teaching guidance

Guidance, with task-specific requirements

Prior approval is required through the AI System for Assurance and Evaluation before deploying AI to provide instruction, feedback, or marks (Section 2.4). Instructors should be transparent about AI deployment (Section 2.1). In general, except for AI marking of objective or closed-ended assessments, a human instructor or reviewer should remain in the loop. Spot checks should still be conducted even where AI scoring is considered reliable.

Official source ↗

Security and procurement

Scope-specific restrictions

Educational deployment requires prior approval through the AI System for Assurance and Evaluation under the policy’s specified governance. ChatGPT Edu no-training protection is documented; approval for sensitive data and general procurement/security procedures remain unverified.
