Ashland Community and Technical College AI Policy

Students may choose to use AI (ChatGPT for example) for assignments.

If they choose to do so, the use of AI, which product was used, and an explanation for how AI was utilized must be appropriately referenced with the student’s submitted work (see AI Use policy under VI).

12. AI Policy: Academic work submitted with outside resources and presented as original content is a form of Academic Dishonesty (cheating). Content generated by an Artificial Intelligence service or site (e.g. ChatGPT) without proper attribution or authorization is a form of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a matter of academic integrity.

This includes, but is not limited to, (1) all forms of plagiarism, such as copying or paraphrasing work from other sources without using proper citation; (2) turning in someone else’s paper, a tutor’s work, or previously submitted personal work (prior semesters or courses); (3) submitting work generated through the utilization of technological tools, such as AI Content Generators (e.g. ChatGPT) or applications (e.g. apps such as Mathway), without acknowledgment and/or citation of their use.

The student is expected to adhere to the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct concerning academic honesty (see ACTC Student Policies and Procedures). Confirmed cheating and plagiarism will result in failure of a nursing course and thereby dismissal from the nursing program. Instructors trust that all students will be honest when writing examinations and/or other assignments.

Cheating in any form violates KCTCS and ACTC Academic Integrity policies and offenders will be subject to Article IV Sanctions for Standards of Conduct Violations of the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct.

All work submitted should be a product of critical thinking and ideas, and written in your own voice, with all sources clearly acknowledged and cited, including technology-based sources.

The student is expected to adhere to the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct concerning academic honesty (see ACTC Student Policies and Procedures). Confirmed cheating and plagiarism will result in failure of a nursing course and thereby dismissal from the nursing program.

Anyone found violating this policy will automatically receive a grade of “E” for the course.

The Nursing Program Administrator and/or the Assistant Nursing Program Administrator must be notified IMMEDIATELY when cheating or plagiarism is suspected or discovered so that an immediate, thorough investigation of the situation can be conducted.

Cheating in any form violates KCTCS and ACTC Academic Integrity policies and offenders will be subject to Article IV Sanctions for Standards of Conduct Violations of the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct.
