For Faculty
Faculty play perhaps the most critical role in preserving an environment where honesty and academic integrity flourish. This information is designed to assist instructors with creating a climate of integrity. We also provide advice should instructors find themselves in a position to report violations of the Honor Code and Code of Student Conduct.

Reporting Violations:
Prior to referring a matter for review by the Honor Council, the Code requires the reporter to make a good faith effort to allow the student to discuss the matter and, if applicable, offer an explanation for the conduct. Please consult the Honor Code FAQ section for information regarding the process for addressing and reporting an honor violation.
