Information for Students about the Honor Code


The purpose of the honor code at the University of Colorado at Boulder is to secure for students an environment in which all individuals have responsibility for, and are appropriately recognized for, their individual academic and personal achievements.

Administered by students and supported by faculty, this honor code and support system educates as it protects. Each student who enters the university community will benefit from an honor code. All members of the academic community are encouraged to trust students, thus preserving the relationship between students and faculty or staff.

Although the honor system is maintained entirely by students, it is also an integral part of the mission of faculty at the university. Consequently, no student has an unfair academic or personal advantage over another. Since the honor code promotes these values, faculty members will have an ardent interest in its successful implementation.
