To maintain academic integrity and meet AMATYC standards, all Casper College Mathematics and Statistics courses require that at least 50% of the final grade comes from proctored assessments (such as exams, verified projects, or presentations). These assessments verify student identity and authorship. Testing may occur on campus or through instructor-approved services. Students are responsible for all scheduling, technical requirements, and potential costs. We are committed to accessibility; please contact the Disability Services Office early to arrange any necessary accommodations.

The study of mathematics requires active problem-solving and original thought. Relying on anything or anyone that removes the requirement for you, the student, to engage in mathematical reasoning should NOT be used for any part of any assignment. While generative AI tools may be used to explore ideas, create practice problems, or check understanding, they are learning aids. All submitted work must be written in your own words and reflect your genuine understanding. Submitting AI-generated text or solutions as your own constitutes academic dishonesty. Any permitted AI use must be clearly documented, including the tool, prompt, and output. Students must be able to explain and justify their submitted work verbally upon request.

Casper College built a strong foundation for my education after high school. I felt very supported as I attended Casper College by every educator I crossed paths with. I now have my foot in the door more than I ever thought possible and have confidence that only can be obtained from an amazing schooling experience.
