Faculty at Elon College have dedicated their lives to a field of study and to the intellectual community at large. They invite students into a dialogue in which learning, exploring, and changing can be shared by all members of the college. A student has the right to learn in an atmosphere of challenge and support.
Faculty are available and interested in student learning.
In return, each student is expected to work diligently to meet the highest possible academic standards through consistent class attendance, active engagement in the course, timely completion of class assignments, and scrupulous academic and intellectual honesty. Consistent with the Elon College Honor System, the academic honor pledge requires that an Elon College student not lie, cheat, or steal with respect to academic course work. Cheating is defined as the intentional misrepresentation of one's work to deceive for personal gain, when in fact said work is not that person's.
