The 2007-2008 University of Richmond Honor Councils

Home

The University of Richmond’s Honor System was created by the students and for the students, in order to maintain high standards of academic integrity. Through both student and faculty support, the Honor System helps to create a community of trust and equality for all students. The Honor System does not serve the university as a set of laws, but rather as a set of expectations and a way of life accepted and promoted by each member of the university community. The campus community assumes that each student values honor and integrity unless his or her actions prove otherwise.

 

The Richmond and Westhampton College Honor Councils work and function together under the University of Richmond’s Honor Code Statute, as well as under their own respective statutes. These statutes include possible violations and sanctions, as well as procedures to be followed by both Councils and members of the student body.

 

The University of Richmond Honor System aspires to instill a lifelong sense of academic integrity in each student. As a result of the Honor Code, the university community benefits from an open, trusting and respectful environment both in and out of the classroom. It is essential that the students, faculty and Honor Councils all work together to uphold these traditions and values.

 

We hope that this website serves as a resource helping to further your understanding of the Honor System. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Sincerely,
