Honor System for Graduate Programs

The Longwood University Honor System is comprised of the Honor Code, the Academic Pledge of Honor, the Honor Creed, and the Honor Code of Conduct Standards and Regulations. The three basic provisions of the Honor Code of Conduct, which strictly forbids lying, cheating, or stealing, represent the standards of integrity and moral responsibility that all students, and recognized student organizations are expected to exemplify. As one of the most respected traditions at Longwood University, the Honor System promotes an atmosphere of trust, where students are presumed honorable unless their actions prove them otherwise. The Twelve Points of Honor, the Honor Creed, the Honor Pledge and the Academic Pledge are available at http://www.longwood.edu/studentconduct/honor-code/. 

Specific information about Honor Code of Conduct Standards and Regulations, and Code of Conduct Standards and Regulations violations and hearing procedures is in the Student Handbook.
