ACADEMIC CODE OF CONDUCT

Terms of Service & Examination Rules

Effective Date: August 2026 • PixelMint Studio & Society

1. Entrance Examination Integrity Rules

Candidates taking the PixelMint Society AI Engineering Entrance Test agree to the following mandatory integrity rules:

Solo Effort: The exam must be taken individually without external human assistance, unauthorized AI proxies, or second-screen mirroring.
Browser Session Retention: Candidates must remain in full-screen mode on a laptop or desktop computer throughout the 30-minute timer. Exiting full-screen or switching tabs generates telemetry flags.
Single Attempt: Only one entrance examination submission is permitted per candidate per cohort cycle.
Disqualification: Multiple recorded integrity breaches (e.g. repeated tab switching, copy-paste injection) may result in automatic disqualification by the admissions board.

2. Hardware & Laptop Requirements

The AI Engineering Bootcamp involves executing local AI models (e.g. Ollama, Llama 3, DeepSeek, Whisper) and running multi-container Docker environments. Candidates must have access to a functional personal laptop running macOS, Linux, or Windows 10/11 with at least 8GB RAM.

3. Student Conduct & Project Attribution

Students enrolled in the cohort must adhere to open-source licensing, properly attribute all third-party libraries in capstone repositories, and maintain a collaborative and respectful atmosphere within community channels.

4. Certification Issuance

Official PixelMint Society AI Engineering Certificates are awarded exclusively to students who complete all 10 modules and receive passing grades (70%+) on module capstone submissions. Certificates are cryptographically verifiable on the public ledger.
