ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
Last updated April 24, 2026
GradePath is built to help students learn and stay organized. It is not a service for submitting work in violation of academic integrity rules. This policy explains what that means in practice.
1. What GradePath is for
GradePath helps you:
- track grades and deadlines across your courses;
- parse your syllabi to extract grading weights and schedule information;
- plan your weeks and study time;
- study course material using an AI tutor that explains concepts, creates practice questions, and generates study guides;
- estimate what scores you need to reach your grade goals.
2. What GradePath is not for
GradePath is not for:
- completing graded assignments, quizzes, or exams on your behalf;
- generating answers that you then submit as your own original work in contexts where AI assistance is not allowed;
- taking tests or producing papers that violate your institution's academic integrity policy;
- sharing AI-generated content with others in a way that helps them violate academic integrity rules.
3. You are responsible for your institution's rules
Every school has its own academic integrity policy. Some courses allow AI tools freely. Some allow them with citation. Some prohibit them entirely. These rules are set by your instructor and institution, not by us.
You are responsible for:
- reading and understanding your institution's academic integrity policy;
- reading and understanding each course's specific rules about AI tools, study aids, and collaboration;
- asking your instructor if you are unsure whether a particular use of GradePath is allowed;
- citing any AI assistance when citation is required.
Using GradePath in violation of your institution's rules is a violation of our
Acceptable Use Policy and can result in account suspension or termination.
4. How the AI tutor is designed
The AI tutor has three modes: Explain, Coach, and Recall. All three are designed for studying, not for producing submittable answers. The tutor is also trained to decline requests that are clearly attempts to complete assessments, including prompts that paste exam questions, ask for answers to specific numbered problems on a homework, or request code that fulfills a specific assignment rubric.
This does not mean the tutor is a perfect safeguard. Students can still misuse AI tools. The responsibility ultimately rests with you.
5. Grade data is a planning tool, not a source of truth
Grades shown in GradePath are computed from information you enter or from data imported from your Learning Management System. They are an estimate of your current standing based on the syllabus weighting you provided. They are not official grade records. Your institution's official records are the source of truth. Always verify your grade with your instructor or registrar before making consequential decisions.
6. Reporting misuse
If you are an instructor, institution, or student who believes GradePath is being misused to violate academic integrity, email
[email protected]. We take these reports seriously and will investigate. Where we substantiate misuse, we will suspend or terminate the account at issue.
7. Changes
We may update this policy to reflect new AI capabilities or new academic norms. The date at the top reflects the most recent update.
