"Fabrication is the falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic work or program and employment documentation.

You must never falsify a record of any kind, nor permit another person to do so. Fabricating academic work, program and employment records includes, but is not limited to clinical permits, criminal reference checks, co-op jobs, placements, employer or placement supervisor evaluation, signatures, misrepresentation of academic credentials from other institutions, or submitting false information for the purpose of gaining admission or credits. An example of fabrication is making up data results for a lab or providing references which are not real."

Georgian College's Academic Integrity regulations (2024-2025) state:

"Plagiarism is the representation of another's words, computer code, design solution or ideas as your own regardless of how they are generated in any academic work. Whenever you use words, code, design, or ideas that are not your own when submitting scholarly work, you must cite your sources with an in-text citation, use quotation marks where appropriate, and include a list of references for the sources cited. Failure to do this constitutes plagiarism.

You must not allow anyone access to the work you have prepared for evaluation, whether in a test, examination, or assignment, etc. You are the only one who should receive credit for what you know, unless prior agreement has been reached with the faculty that group work (and group credit) is allowed. Therefore, publishing work on a public repository (ex. Course Hero) is prohibited.

Plagiarism of any part of a work is a breach of academic integrity; there is no partial responsibility. To avoid plagiarism, every source of information must be identified and properly documented according to an established writing convention determined by your faculty, for example, Georgian College Library Citation Guidelines, American Psychological Association (APA) style. Faculty have the right to request that you submit your work for electronic text matching and may ask you to submit proof of paper development, including your notes and drafts.

Self-plagiarism is the resubmission of previous work or portions of work from another course or from the same course if you are repeating a course, without the permission of the current faculty. Self-plagiarism of any part of your work is a breach of academic integrity; there is no partial responsibility."

Artificial Intelligence tools include (but aren't limited to) ChatGPT, other chatbots, paraphrasing or summarizing tools, word switchers or other technological tools that generate, translate, or rewrite text or ideas for you. If you're not sure, please ask your professor.
