Incompletes
A “Report of Incomplete Grade” form must be completed by the instructor and filed with the Program Coordinator.
To convert the incomplete “I” into a grade, the student must submit for grading all work required to complete the course to the instructor by a date specified by the instructor within the next immediately following semester, but absolutely no later than 2 weeks before the drop date of that semester. Incompletes not completed by the date specified automatically become a letter grade of “F” for the course.

Introduction: The use of generative AI (GAI) is permitted in this course under certain conditions and with
instructor approval for the purposes of enhancing learning while maintaining academic integrity.
2. Rationale: GAI is permitted to foster technological fluency and to leverage advanced tools for research,
projects and other relevant assignments, as long as it does not substitute for the students’ original work,
critical thinking and learning.
3. Definition of GAI: Generative AI encompasses technologies that create content through learned patterns and
data without direct human input.
4. Usage Permissions: Permitted: GAI can be used for initial research, idea generation, and learning coding
practices. It is not to be used for final submissions unless explicitly cited and discussed. Students should
check with their instructors for approval before using AI in their assignments.
5. Resources: The ACC Library provides guidance on the ethical and effective use of GAI. Additional resources may be provided by your instructor.
6. Assessment: Contributions of GAI must be clearly cited and will be assessed on the student’s ability to critically analyze and integrate the AI-generated content.
7. Penalties: Misuse of GAI, including a failure to cite, will be considered a breach of academic integrity, with
consequences, including a failing grade for the assignment and academic review.
8. Exceptions: Should the technology be required as an accommodation, exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
