Students are responsible for understanding their professors' policies with regard to the Honor Code.
Students are also responsible for understanding the provisions of the Honor Code. As participating members of this community, all students have the duty to report to a member of the Honor Committee, within the prescribed time outlined under Procedures for Reporting a Violation, any violations of the Honor Code. This duty is important not only because it enforces the Honor Code, but also because it gives all students the opportunity to express their respect for personal integrity and an honest academic community. All students or faculty members witnessing or discovering a violation of the Honor Code should enlist, wherever and whenever possible, one or more corroborating witnesses to the overt act. The Honor Committee will, within five working days, mail a letter of accusation to the suspected party.
