honor codes

Academic honesty systems

Honor codes are formal pledges or systems in academic settings where students commit not to cheat, plagiarize, or tolerate others doing so.

Many universities require students to sign an honor code and report violations: The honor code requires us to turn in anyone we see cheating.

Some honor codes grant privileges like unproctored exams in exchange for the commitment to integrity.
