ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
Last updated August 18, 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:
- organize private recordings, transcripts, and notes in the exact course where they belong;
- review and edit derived notes created from material you are permitted to use;
- study with Tutor answers grounded in sources available to your account;
- choose whether to submit an eligible reviewed derivative to the exact-course Course Commons.
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 Tutor is designed
Tutor is designed for source-grounded studying, not for producing work to submit as your own. It can decline requests that appear to seek answers to restricted assessments or completion of graded work.
This does not mean the tutor is a perfect safeguard. Students can still misuse AI tools. The responsibility ultimately rests with you.
5. Student material is supplemental
Private notes, Tutor output, and Course Commons contributions are supplemental student material. They are not official instructor, course, or institution content. Verify important course information against authorized sources and your instructor's directions.
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 may investigate, restrict content, or take account action under the Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
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.
