The work that you submit for assessment must be YOUR OWN WORK. This means that the work must be original in the sense that it is your intellectual creation and its overall content is representative of your own expression of your own ideas, not a copy/version of other people's work or AI-generated material.
Claim & location details
PolyU guidelines state that work submitted for assessment must be the student's own work and must not be a copy or version of other people's work or AI-generated material.

Version not recorded; quotations kept separate
Students may use GenAI in assessment unless they have been told otherwise before the assessment. Notwithstanding, PolyU upholds the principle that students should be accountable for their own work. While using GenAI in assessment may be acceptable, claiming any piece of work, large or small, generated by AI as one’s own is not.

If the use of AI tools/materials should be restricted so that it will not defeat the purpose of authentic learning or assessment, the departments and subject teachers concerned have the responsibility to communicate the restrictions and the consequences of ignoring the restrictions to students explicitly in assignment briefs (and subject documents if appropriate) and preferably also verbally in class.

Version not recorded; quotations kept separate
Some subjects and assessments may not allow or have restrictions on the use of GenAI tools. You may be required to declare the use of GenAI tools (e.g. by completing an honour declaration form) and identify the AI-generated content in your work. You should refer to the relevant subject and assessment documents for the specific restrictions and requirements. It should be noted that such declarations are not a substitute for proper referencing in the submitted work. If in doubt, check with your teachers.
