Academic Honesty, the Honor Code

Shenandoah University adheres to principles and practices of the Academic Honor Code. The Honor Code is the system of conduct of the University that reflects the core of principles and values the University has established regarding individual responsibility and matters involving honorable conduct. The concept of honor may be defined in a variety of ways; however, at this university the code prohibits lying, stealing, and cheating.

Students attending the university are responsible for upholding the Honor Code and being aware of the university’s Honor Code procedures. Ignorance is not acceptable defense for failure to follow the Honor Code. Shenandoah University faculty members are also responsible for upholding the Honor Code, which includes putting an Honor Code statement on all course syllabi and being aware of the university’s Honor Code procedures. The Shenandoah University Academic Honor Code is published in the Student Handbook.

Submitting work constitutes your pledge of academic honesty.
