Any act of academic dishonesty is prohibited, including, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication.
- Cheating includes any attempt to give or obtain unauthorized assistance relating to the completion of an academic assignment. This includes using ChatGPT or other Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to complete assignments unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
- Plagiarism includes taking and using as one's own, without proper attribution, the ideas, writings, or work of another person in completing an academic assignment. Prohibited conduct may also include the unauthorized submission for credit of academic work that has been submitted for credit in another course.
- Fabrication includes falsifying data, information, or citations in completing an academic assignment and also includes providing false or deceptive information to an instructor concerning the completion of an assignment.
Academic consequences for academic dishonesty or abetting in academic dishonesty may be imposed at the discretion of a faculty member up to and including a failing grade for the course. The instructor should attempt to notify the student of the suspected academic dishonesty and give the student an opportunity to respond. The notice and the opportunity may be informal. Students should refer to each of their faculty's course syllabus and program handbook. Further academic consequences may follow consistent with the provisions in any program handbook including, but not limited to, dismissal from an academic program. Incidents of academic dishonesty may also be referred to the student conduct officer for disciplinary action as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.
ChatGPT/Generative Artificial Intelligence
As a college student, it is your responsibility to maintain the highest standards
of academic integrity. Representing work generated by artificial intelligence (AI)
as one's own work is considered to be academically dishonest. This includes (a) ensuring
that all work submitted for grades is your own original work, written for this course
this quarter, and (b) properly citing any sources that you use.
Having AI write any part of your paper without citing it constitutes plagiarism. If
the source of the work is unclear, you may be required to meet with your instructor
to explain the ideas and your writing process.
