GenAI Guidance for Assessment
Introduction to GenAI Guidance at the University
The purpose of this guidance is to help you understand the University’s policy on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in relation to assessment practice. It outlines three scenarios that detail how GenAI can be used in assessment. You can utilise this guidance to inform and review your assessment design, in the context of the Learning Through Assessment Framework.
The guidance in these pages is not all new, rather it builds on the previously stated position with respect to GenAI use, but has been updated and augmented in response to colleague feedback.
Please note that the GenAI Guidance for Assessment will be updated from the academic year 2026-27. We ask that colleagues across the four Colleges and University Services follow this existing GenAI Guidance for Assessment until all assessments set in the academic year 2025-26 are marked.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact the Assessment & Feedback Practice and Policy workstream.
I'm a student, what do I need to know?
Guidance for students on how to use and reference GenAI can be found here.
