Academic Integrity

UCL uses a 3-category assessment framework for GenAI: Category 1 requires own work only; Category 2 permits GenAI with acknowledgement; Category 3 includes essential GenAI use as part of the assessment.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
For Category 1, you might use GenAI tools to help you revise and prepare, but the work you complete for the assessment should be your own. In Category 2, you could use GenAI to get ideas, help draft your work, or even proofread... Category 3 is a lot like category 2, but there will also be some essential use of GenAI.

Academic integrity is about fairness. If somebody gets an unfair advantage over other students, we consider this academic misconduct. This means that there's no single list of fair and unfair uses of GenAI.

Academic Integrity

Original evidence

Evidence 1
It's okay to use GenAI to help with spelling and grammar, and even with the tone of your language. However, make sure it isn't changing the content and meaning of what you've written. You should always understand the work you submit.
