What is the Honor Committee?
The Honor Committee is a group of faculty and students that hears some cases designated as High Level by the Office of Student Integrity. The total committee consists of 12 faculty members from across Georgia Tech elected to three-year terms and nine students (six undergraduates and three graduates) appointed to one-year terms. The committee membership can be found on the Faculty Governance website. When an individual case is being heard, however, there are three faculty members and two students who serve as the case’s hearing panel. The Honor Committee makes a decision on whether the student is responsible, and if so determines the sanctions and supplementary requirements the student will face.
