It is because of this belief that an Honor System exists here at James Madison University, and an Honor Council enforces its provisions. The James Madison University Honor Council is committed to instilling, upholding, and promoting individual and collective academic integrity. After enrollment, each JMU student is automatically subject to the provisions of the Honor System. Each student is responsible for becoming familiar with the provisions of the Honor Code and the Honor System procedures. Ignorance of what constitutes an honor code violation cannot be used as a defense in an honor hearing.
All academic dishonesty is a violation of the honor code.
It is the responsibility of each student to read and understand the provisions of the honor system. The Honor Council offices are located at 113 Wilson Hall.
