Academic integrity and use of AI

You are expected to act with honesty and integrity in all aspects of your study.

Academic integrity

All learners must adhere to the University of Melbourne’s academic integrity requirements. This includes:

• Producing original work
• Correctly acknowledging sources
• Avoiding plagiarism and collusion

For more information, see the Student Academic Integrity Policy

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools

AI tools (such as generative AI or writing assistants) may support your learning, but must be used responsibly.

Your responsibilities

• Ensure all submitted work reflects your own understanding and skills
• Critically review and verify any AI-generated content
• Follow all course-specific instructions regarding AI use

Declaring AI use

You may be required to:

• Acknowledge if and how AI was used
• Identify which parts of your work were supported by AI

Failure to appropriately acknowledge AI use may be considered a breach of academic integrity.

Restrictions

Some assessments may require you to work independently without AI tools. You must follow all stated requirements. For further guidance, visit: Students
