The Honor Council - Undergraduate

The University of Miami community recognizes integrity as a core institutional value. The Undergraduate Honor Code is based upon the Academic Integrity Policy which was approved by the Faculty Senate, the President of the University, and the Board of Trustees in 2019. The Honor Code is designed to ensure the academic integrity of the University of Miami, encourage consistent ethical behavior among undergraduate students, and to foster a climate of fair competition. While a student's commitment to honesty and personal integrity is assumed and expected, this Code is intended to provide an added measure of assurance that, in fulfilling the University's requirements, a student's work will never involve falsification, plagiarism, or other deception regarding the true nature of the materials presented. Each student is responsible for completing the academic requirements of each course in the manner indicated by the faculty.

Graduate students are similarly held to the University’s Honor Code. The Graduate Honor Council is overseen by the Dean of Students Office in consultation with the Graduate School. For information on proceedings for academic integrity for graduate students, please refer to the Academic Integrity resource page. 

Members of the University community who would like to request Honor Council programming or an investigation of alleged academic dishonesty are encouraged to call the Honor Council at 305-284-5354.
