honor code

Academic ethics agreement

An honor code is a set of rules governing academic integrity, typically at a school or university.

Students pledge not to cheat, plagiarize, or tolerate dishonesty in others.

Many honor codes require students to report violations they witness: The honor code requires us to turn in anyone we see cheating.

Some institutions treat honor code violations as grounds for expulsion.
