Georgia Tech aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic integrity, and honor. Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards. All students enrolled at Georgia Tech, and all its campuses, are to perform their academic work according to standards set by faculty members, departments, schools and colleges of the university; and cheating and plagiarism constitute fraudulent misrepresentation for which no credit can be given and for which appropriate sanctions are warranted and will be applied. For information on Georgia Tech's Academic Honor Code, please visit http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/policies/honor-code/ or Academic Honor Code.
Any student suspected of cheating, plagiarizing, or using AI software on a quiz, exam, or assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations.
Students are prohibited from submitting written work generated by and written by artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT or Grammarly. Asking ChatGPT to write a response for you is plagiarism for the simple reason that you did not write the answer or the essay. Furthermore, ChatGPT generates a written response using the writing of others without any credit or citations of the authors or websites. Student papers flagged as having been AI generated will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity.
