Honor Councils

Honor and integrity are fundamental attributes of our community. We are privileged to live with an honor system, created and administered by students, because it inspires us to achieve our maximum potential without interference from others. Dishonest conduct violates the trust that exists at the College. Therefore, it is imperative that we accept no compromise and allow no action by any student to weaken the community of trust.

Students administer the Honor System through a Council of Chairs and a system of six Honor Councils (click on each Council's name to access their individual sites):

Undergraduate Honor Council

Art and Sciences Honor Council

Business Honor Council

Education Honor Council

Law Honor Council

Marine Science Council

Council of Chairs

Each governing body overseeing the councils determines the manner for selecting its members. Members are trained and advised by the Dean of Students Office; however, the Councils are student-run--students determine whether sufficient evidence exists to conduct a hearing, and students determine violations and issue sanctions.
