The
Honor System is based upon the belief that Lyon College
undergraduates are mature individuals; capable of acting
honorably in all academic matters and that they should
be encouraged to take responsibility for their own
conduct as individuals and as a community. By signing
the Lyon College Roll of Honor upon matriculation,
students commit themselves to the ideals embodied in the
Honor System - integrity, responsibility, and a regard
for others. The Honor System is maintained and
administered by the students through the Honor Council,
made up of students elected by the student body.
The Honor Pledge
The Honor Pledge is a statement made by each student to
uphold the Honor Code in all matters related to academic
work.
Upon matriculation every student commits to abide by the
Honor System. This commitment is signified by signing
the Roll of Honor and by signing each examination, quiz,
paper or other written assignment with the written
pledge:
"I will abstain from all fraud in academic work. I will
neither give nor receive aid on any form of test or
assigned work where such aid is prohibited, nor tolerate
this conduct in any member of the community. I will deal
responsibly with such acts when I observe them. By my
conduct and influence I will endeavor to build a high
standard of honesty and truthfulness in all academic
work."
The abbreviation "Pledged" followed by the student’s
signature has the same meaning and is acceptable on all
assignments.
The Honor Council
The Honor System is maintained and administered by the
students through the Honor Council, made up of twelve
students elected by the student body. The purpose of the
Honor Council is to foster a spirit of honor on campus
and to hear and act upon alleged violations of the Honor
Code.
The Honor Council is empowered to try students who are
charged with Honor Code violations, and in the event of
a conviction, to impose penalties up to and including
expulsion from the College.
