The Academic Honor Code is a student initiative that became an official Institute policy in 1996. The Academic Honor Code aims to increase academic integrity and strengthen trust in the Georgia Tech community. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.
AI Statement:
Per GaTech's Honor Code, students are forbidden from submitting work generated by an AI program as their own. Generative AI cannot be used or consulted for assignments; all work must be your own. The use of Generative AI tools for any part of your work will be treated as plagiarism and a violation of academic honesty. You may use grammar aids (e.g., Grammarly, spell check).
