HONORS COLLEGE
MISSION STATEMENT (Adopted April
7th, 2000)
We, the students of the Honors College
at Florida Atlantic University, from a
passion for acquiring knowledge, pledge
to foster intellectual and personal growth
and to take responsibility for our own
education. We hope to develop a deep understanding
of ourselves and our world and not focus
only on grades as a criterion for success.
In order to reach the pinnacle of our own
intellectual and personal development,
we pledge to work with the faculty to establish
an environment of academic integrity and
mutual respect. To create and maintain
an Honors College community we support
the freedom of expression and discovery.
By choosing to become a part of this community
we each promise to uphold the principles
recognized in this statement.
ACADEMIC HONOR
CODE (Adopted April 7th, 2000; revised Nov. 8, 2011)
As part of our pledge to foster intellectual
and personal growth, we shall uphold the
highest standards of honesty and integrity
as they pertain to our academic life. We
expect that every Honors College student
will support the goal of creating an environment
of academic integrity, academic freedom,
and mutual respect.
To promote this goal, students hereby agree
not to cheat on exams, tests, quizzes;
plagiarize; receive or provide unpermitted
aid on any exam or any class work used
by an instructor as a basis for grading;
interfere with the educational mission
of the College; or conspire to commit any
of the above actions.
In support of the mission statement and
honor code, we acknowledge an expectation
to report violations of this code, and
that doing so is
not to be looked down on as betraying trust,
but rather is to be regarded as maintaining
the academic integrity of the Honors College
and supporting a community of mutual trust.
We encourage and acknowledge an expectation
of active participation inside and outside
of the classroom in contributing to the
academic life of the College community.
Forms of active participation include attendance,
discussion within the classroom, discussion
on academic topics outside of the classroom,
participation in study groups, turning
in assignments, seeking help when needed,
and performing assigned work in group projects.
By signing the honor code, we the students
acknowledge that we have entered into an
agreement with the faculty in which we
uphold the above principles and will not
weaken the foundation of trust upon which
the Honors College is built by violating
them. In return, we expect the faculty
to show trust in us. Faculty are encouraged
not to proctor exams or to take unreasonable
precautions to prevent dishonesty.
Changes to the preceding statement must be approved by a
2/3 vote of students enrolled in the Honors
College.
