St Andrews student guidance says students should not use generative AI for assessed work unless the module coordinator explicitly authorises it, and any AI use should be declared on an assessment coversheet.

St Andrews student guidance says Microsoft Copilot is the University's provided AI tool for staff and students, with Commercial Data Protection enabled.

St Andrews staff guidance says Turnitin AI detection has not been switched on at the University because of concerns over accurate detection.
