Other
At the University of Melbourne, using GenAI tools to produce work submitted for assessment without acknowledgement constitutes academic misconduct under cl. 4.13 of the Student Academic Integrity Policy (MPF1310).
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1If an assessment task does not permit the use of such tools, or if they use such tools in the preparation of an assessment submission without acknowledgement, this constitutes academic misconduct under cl. 4.13 of the Student Academic Integrity Policy (MPF1310).
Other
A high AI score in Turnitin's writing detection report at the University of Melbourne is not proof that academic misconduct has taken place and does not on its own constitute grounds for making an allegation of academic misconduct.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1A high AI score in Turnitin's writing detection report is not proof that academic misconduct has taken place (any more than would be the case when using the more familiar similarity report tool to flag potential plagiarism). It does not, on its own, constitute grounds for making an allegation of academic misconduct.
Other
Students must check with their Subject Coordinator before using GenAI for assessment-related work at the University of Melbourne.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Before you use GenAI for assessment-related work you must check to ensure that your Subject Coordinator has authorised its use.
Other
University of Melbourne assessment materials and teaching materials constitute University IP and should never be tested on third-party external GenAI platforms such as ChatGPT; any such testing must be done only within the University's secure SparkAI platform.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Since assessments and other teaching materials constitute University IP, they should never be tested on third-party external platforms such as ChatGPT, since these platforms use all prompts and inputs to further train their models. Any such testing/auditing must be done only within the University's secure GenAI platform (SparkAI) or other University of Melbourne-sanctioned platforms.
Other
University of Melbourne students must appropriately cite any use of GenAI tools in the preparation of assessment submissions.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Any use of GenAI in the preparation of an assessment submission must be appropriately cited.
Other
At the University of Melbourne, generative AI tools can only be used in research outputs where the material generated or substantially altered by these tools is acknowledged according to the University's policy and the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Generative AI tools can only be used if material that is generated or substantially altered by these tools is acknowledged according to the University's policy and the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.
Other
The University of Melbourne advises researchers that they should not share confidential information or information about an innovation in a generative AI prompt, as that may mean the IP is no longer owned by the researcher or by the University.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1The University has advised researchers that they should not share confidential information or information about an innovation in a generative AI prompt, as that may mean that the IP is no longer owned by the researcher or by the University.
Other
University of Melbourne students must not upload personal information (full name, date of birth, address, or other confidential/sensitive/private information) to GenAI tools.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Protect your personal information and that of others. Do not upload your full name, date of birth, address or other confidential, sensitive or private information.
Other
University of Melbourne students must not upload copyrighted material (such as lecture slides or subject material) to AI tools without permission, as this may violate the intellectual property rights of creators.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Don't make copyright material available on the web or to an AI tool without permission.
Other
Each University of Melbourne subject coordinator is responsible for setting out the bounds of appropriate GenAI use within their subject, and is strongly encouraged to consider possible use case scenarios, set clear boundaries, and have conversations with students.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1It is the responsibility of each subject coordinator to set out the bounds of appropriate GenAI use within their subject. Coordinators are strongly encouraged to consider possible use case scenarios for their assessments, set clear boundaries, and have conversations with their students to enable clarity about what tools are appropriate and for what tasks.
Other
The University of Melbourne states that University IP cannot be uploaded to external sites and recommends using the University's SparkAI platform when staff want AI to review University materials.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1University IP cannot be uploaded to external sites, so if you want AI to review some of your materials, we recommend using the SparkAI platform.
Other
At the University of Melbourne, use of GenAI tools for marking or grading should never be a substitute for staff exercising their own evaluative judgement.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Use of GenAI tools should never be a substitute for staff exercising their own evaluative judgement.
Other
The University of Melbourne advises staff to model the transparency requested from students by acknowledging the use of any GenAI tools in materials provided to students.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1We should also model the transparency we are requesting from students and acknowledge the use of any GenAI tools in materials we provide to them.
Other
University of Melbourne staff should consider and provide advice on the limits of acceptable use of AI-powered translation and editing tools (e.g. Grammarly, Google Translate) in their subjects, as student use can extend to the point where students are no longer expressing their own ideas.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1Student use of these tools may pose risks to academic integrity, and staff should consider and provide advice on the limits of acceptable use in their subject. Use of these tools can easily extend to the point where students are no longer expressing their own ideas or understanding of the subject matter.
Other
The University of Melbourne recommends that universities should have autonomy over their own generative AI policies and that the Australian Government develop optional guidance for the sector on the use of generative AI in teaching, learning, assessment, and research.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1The Australian Government develop optional guidance for the sector on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching, learning, assessment, and research. However, Universities should continue to have autonomy over their own generative AI policies to ensure they are appropriate for their communities.
Other
The University of Melbourne has adopted AI Principles designed to guide actions around the adoption and use of AI tools and systems across the institution.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1This guidance is also influenced by the University of Melbourne AI Principles, which have been designed to guide actions around the adoption and use of AI tools and systems.
Other
University of Melbourne students must produce the text, code, designs, or images they are being assessed on themselves, not via GenAI, in order to develop the skills and capabilities their degree claims they have.
Review: Agent reviewed
Original evidence
Evidence 1To develop these skills and capabilities, you must produce the text, code, designs or images you're being assessed on. For example, if a subject learning outcome includes 'discuss and critique', you must generate that discussion and critique – not GenAI – in order to develop those skills.
Other
The University of Melbourne has published a Statement on Graduate Research and digital assistance tools governing the use of AI tools by Graduate Researchers.
Review: Agent reviewed
