honor pledge
Academic honesty vow
An honor pledge is a formal statement, typically signed by students, affirming that work submitted is their own and that they have not cheated or witnessed cheating without reporting it.
Common in American universities, honor pledges are part of broader honor codes that place responsibility for academic integrity on students themselves: Please write out the honor pledge and sign your exam.
