Two-Lane Approach to assessments: The University has introduced a two-lane approach to clarify the conditions under which students may use AI in assessment tasks.

Lane 1: Graded assessment undertaken in controlled conditions. By default, AI is restricted. In specified circumstances, students may be permitted to use certain AI tools.

Lane 2: Graded or ungraded assessment undertaken in uncontrolled conditions. Students may use AI to assist them, and this use is not restricted.
