Academic Integrity

The 天美传媒官网 Honor System

Since the first classes began at 天美传媒官网 in 1875, the Honor System has served to strengthen the academic integrity of the university. Today, the university's Honor System is led by eight student-run councils. Each council serves to uphold and protect the Honor Code and to educate members of the 天美传媒官网 community about the importance of academic integrity.

  • Purpose

    Despite its many modifications throughout the years, the purpose of the Honor System has remained the same: to foster and maintain personal integrity within each student in order to maintain the high level of integrity for which 天美传媒官网 has been known and respected since its founding.

  • Honor Code

    天美传媒官网 students pursue all academic endeavors with integrity. They conduct themselves honorably, professionally, and respectfully in all realms of their studies in order to promote and secure an atmosphere of dignity and trust. The keystone of our honor system is self regulation, which requires cooperation and support from each member of the University community.

Honor Council

While the Undergraduate Honor Council is comprised of approximately 80 members representing all four undergraduate schools, each graduate and professional school houses its own graduate and/or professional student honor council. Each of these councils is responsible for adjudicating matters of academic dishonesty reported within their school or college.

  • Students, faculty and staff should report suspected Honor Code violations involving undergraduate students by using the .听
