Teaching & Learning

U1Coursework & Assignments
AI Prohibited
  • The catalog does not define any policy on AI use for completing coursework or graded assignments
  • The only relevant university-wide conduct language is the Honor Concept, which prohibits cheating and deception by cadets

Cadets are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with an Honor Concept, which requires that “Cadets neither lie,

cheat, steal, nor attempt to deceive.”

The Honor Concept is so fundamental to the qualifications of an individual aspiring to be an officer in the Coast Guard that a

failure to adhere to its tenets is considered to be a major deficiency in a person’s suitability for commissioning. For this

reason, breaches of the Honor Concept are considered to be serious offenses that potentially result in disenrollment from the

Academy.
