Does Shenandoah have an Honor Code?
Shenandoah University adheres to principles and practices of the Academic Honor Code. The Honor Code is the system of conduct of the University which reflects the core of principles and values that the university has established regarding individual responsibility and matters involving honorable conduct. The concept of honor may be defined in a variety of ways; however, at this university, the code under which we live prohibits lying, stealing and cheating. Students attending the university are responsible for upholding the Honor Code and being aware of the university’s Honor Code procedures. Ignorance is not an acceptable defense for failure to follow the Honor Code. Faculty members are also responsible for upholding the Honor Code, which includes putting an Honor Code statement on all course syllabi and being aware of the Honor Code procedures. The Academic Honor Code is published in the Student Handbook and the Faculty Handbook.
