Honor Code
Wake Forest University is firmly committed to principles of honor and ethical conduct. The Honor Code embodies a spirit of trust that pervades all aspects of student life. It is the responsibility of every student to act honorably in all phases of student life and protect the integrity of the Honor Code. In specific terms, this means that each student agrees not to deceive any member of the community; not to steal, cheat, or plagiarize on academic work; and not to engage in any other form of academic misconduct. Living within the Honor Code means that we can trust each other and that we accept responsibility for our own behavior.
As a student at Wake Forest University, I pledge to support and uphold the Honor Code. I will endeavor to make it an integral part of my life and promote its values in the community.
