Ai Tool Treatment
University of Southampton guidance says students are allowed to use GenAI tools like ChatGPT to develop learning and support studies, but should never submit work created or part-created by GenAI for assessments they claim as their own.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: allowed_for_learning_support_with_no_submission_as_own_work
Original evidence
Evidence 1You are allowed to use GenAI tools like ChatGPT to develop your learning and support your studies. However, you should never submit work that has been created or part-created by GenAI for assessments that you claim as your own work.
Academic Integrity
University of Southampton guidance says submitting work created by someone other than the student, including GenAI, breaks its Academic Responsibility and Conduct rules and the University will take disciplinary action that may result in mark penalties.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: genai_submitted_as_own_work_breaks_academic_responsibility_rules
Original evidence
Evidence 1Work submitted as your own should genuinely be your own work. If you submit work that has been created by someone other than yourself (including GenAI), then this breaks our rules on Academic Responsibility and Conduct. We will take disciplinary action that may result in penalties on your marks.
Ai Tool Treatment
University of Southampton guidance lists acceptable GenAI uses such as arranged assistive technology, study-buddy support, clearly referencing GenAI use, and summarising complex ideas or academic texts; it lists copying GenAI output into work, asking GenAI to write or rewrite work, asking GenAI to answer an assessment question, and sharing module tutor materials in a GenAI tool as unacceptable uses.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: acceptable_and_unacceptable_genai_uses
Original evidence
Evidence 1Acceptable uses include: using GenAI as an assistive technology by arrangement with our Disability and Inclusion team; using GenAI as a study buddy; citing or clearly referencing your use of GenAI; summarising complex ideas or academic texts. Unacceptable uses include: copying and pasting information created by GenAI straight into your work; asking GenAI to write or rewrite your work or part of your work for you; directly asking GenAI to answer an assessment question; sharing the materials and resources from your module tutors in a GenAI tool.
Teaching
University of Southampton guidance tells students to talk to their module tutor about how to use GenAI; the permitted extent and ways of use depend on the task, learning, and capabilities expected, and some activities may require a GenAI declaration statement.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: module_specific_genai_use_and_possible_declaration
Original evidence
Evidence 1Always talk to your module tutor to check how to use GenAI to support your studies in their subjects. How far, and in what ways, you can use generative AI will depend on the particular task or learning you are carrying out and what capabilities you are expected to demonstrate. In other cases, you may be asked to complete a declaration statement that describes how you have used generative AI.
