For the individual challenges? You are cheating yourself out of understanding.

For the certification projects? Yes, you are violating the academic honesty policy.

Copying somebody else’s code for the certification projects is absolutely cheating. There is nothing mixed about it. If you copy somebody else’s code for the certification projects, your certificates can be revoked.

What would be a More Important Question, is “Why would you want to do this?”
The purpose of learning to Code is to Acquire a Tangible Skill Set.
