That depends on your instructor, the course, and how you're using AI.
- Yes, sometimes. If you're using AI to help brainstorm, check grammar, or ask clarifying questions--and your instructor allows it!
- No, if you're using AI to write your whole assignment, complete a quiz, or avoid doing the work yourself.
You should never submit work that has been wholly generated by AI in place of your own original work (unless your instructor has specifically requested you do so, although this would be extremely rare). This is considered cheating and will be treated in the same way by TSTC as if you had contracted a third party to complete your coursework for you.
