The Honor Pledge

As a student, you are required to affirm your willingness to be bound by the Young Harris College Honor Code.  Your responsibility in upholding the Honor Code goes beyond passive compliance to include active guardianship.  At the formal commitment ceremony, you will answer a roll call and sign your signature to the following Pledge of Honor:

As a member of the student body of Young Harris College I understand that integrity is vital to the mission of the College, which is to foster the spiritual, ethical, and intellectual growth of every student.  I pledge to adhere rigorously to honesty in all facets of academic and campus life and to abide unconditionally by the provisions of the Honor Code.  If I violate this Code, I will accept the penalty that is duly imposed.

In addition to this public and formal pledge, your signature on any paper or test submitted for academic credit will attest that you have neither given nor received unauthorized help on the work in question.
