Student Honor System

Our pledge

We as members and students recognize that Honor is at once an injunction and an aspiration. The Honor System exists at the intersection of these two purposes: to foster our Community of Trust and to hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity.

We recognize that as students, we have a responsibility to each other: to trust in the integrity of our peers; to recognize our capacity to make amends and restore our commitment to honor; and to value honesty above ambition and our community above ourselves. In these dedications to each other, we aspire to build this Community of Trust: a pluralistic community founded on the high values of trusting and being trusted, an allegiance to intellectual honesty, and of being honest in one's dealings with others.
