Normalized value: AI prompts and hyperlinks required for AI-integrated and AI-assisted assessments
Original evidence
Evidence 1For AI-integrated and AI-assisted assessments, you must include prompts and, where possible, hyperlinks to outputs as part of your list of references.
Research
Normalized value: PGR GenAI statement required from 1 August 2024
Original evidence
Evidence 1From 1 August 2024, all Postgraduate Researchers (PGR) must include a statement in their upgrade portfolio and final thesis. This statement must confirm if and how they have used Generative AI (GenAI) in their work. If you do not include this statement, the University will assume you have not used any GenAI tools. The statement must be placed at the end of the upgrade or thesis/dissertation documents, before the reference list.
Academic Integrity
Normalized value: AI-minimal spelling and grammar only; AI-prohibited no GenAI
Original evidence
Evidence 1AI-minimal – where you may use AI tools for checking spelling and grammar mistakes only, with no other impact on the structure or content of the assessment. AI-prohibited – you must not use GenAI tools as their use prevents achievement of the Intended Learning Outcomes.
Academic Integrity
Normalized value: record direct and indirect GenAI use, including prompts and hyperlinks
Original evidence
Evidence 1You need to record direct and indirect use of Generative AI outputs. For AI-Integrated and AI-Assisted assessments, you must keep a record of all AI prompts and hyperlinks used for your assignment.
Research
Normalized value: PGR AI use allowed only with policy compliance and research oversight
Original evidence
Evidence 1Yes, you can use artificial intelligence (AI) as part of your research. It must however be used in line with the University of Exeter Artificial Intelligence policy, the Doctoral College regulations on the use of AI in research assessments, and the University guidance on the use of AI, Enabling AI at Exeter. The key principle is that any use of AI must be accompanied by critical scrutiny and research oversight, because you, as the researcher, remain responsible for any research outputs and assessments.
Ai Tool Treatment
Normalized value: policy applies to staff, students, researchers, and approved tools are listed in the AI Catalogue
Original evidence

It supports innovation while ensuring fairness, transparency and compliance with data protection and ethical standards. All staff, students and researchers should refer to the policy when using, developing or procuring an AI tool for University purposes.
