You may use AI tools for checking spelling and grammar mistakes only, with no other impact on the structure or content of the assessment. This includes AI tools such as Microsoft Word's grammar and spelling checker, and not GenAI tools such as Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT. This is because using AI tools outside of these uses prevents fair assessment of your ability to achieve module learning outcomes. While completing AI-minimal assessments, you may find that some search tools you are using have GenAI features, such as source summarisation tools. Do not copy, paste or paraphrase information from these AI-generated summaries.

The University's guidelines on the use of GenAI in assessments appreciate that assistive technology using AI may have been recommended as part of the Disabled Students Allowance / Apprenticeship Needs Assessment Process. The majority of these tools are allowed even in AI-prohibited assignments.
