Academic Integrity

Central Alabama Community College is committed to the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity. Students should avoid cheating, plagiarizing, or committing other forms of academic dishonesty. This includes any use of Artificial Intelligence programs such as ChatGPT. Consequences for violations of academic integrity may include being required to retake an examination or resubmit an assignment, receiving an “F” on an exam or assignment, or receiving an “F” for the course.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) should not be used to complete course assignments (e.g. by entering exam questions or assignment questions, writing prompts, etc.) unless an instructor authorizes their use. These tools should only be used with explicit and clear permission of each individual instructor, and then only in the ways allowed by the instructor. Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification. The unauthorized use of AI tools to complete course assignments is a violation of academic integrity.
