Policies
- Academic Honor Code (general; no AI language). The 2025-2026 catalog's 'Students Rights and Responsibilities' section contains the Academic Honor Code and an 'Academic Honesty in Online and Correspondence Courses' clause defining cheating/plagiarism, but it does NOT mention artificial intelligence, AI, ChatGPT, or generative AI anywhere. The policy addresses cheating/plagiarism only in traditional terms (e.g., sharing Canvas logins, having others complete coursework). 2025 · high confidence — source

- 🆕Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) 2025-2033 published. Under Superintendent/President Dr. Bruce Moses, the college adopted a new Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) described as a guiding framework for innovation over the next 8-10 years, emphasizing workforce alignment with 'the evolving demands of business and industry.' No explicit mention of AI was found in the public CEP webpage text (the linked CEP PDF could not be text-extracted to confirm AI content). 2025 · medium confidence — source
- No AI courses or certificates in current catalog. Searches of the official 2025-2026 course catalog (eLumen) for 'artificial intelligence', 'machine learning', 'generative', and 'ChatGPT' returned 'No Results' for both courses and programs. The college's only computing-related offering is a general Computer Information Systems A.S. degree plus certificates (Computer Applications, 3D Computer Animation, 3D Printing, Graphic Design and Web Content); none are AI-focused. 2025 · high confidence — source
