The Honor System:

All undergraduate students at SMU are under the jurisdiction of the Honor Code, and as such will be required to sign a pledge to uphold the Honor Code. The Honor Council is composed of 22 students appointed by the Student Senate to represent the undergraduate schools and classes of the University. The Council's responsibility is to maintain and promote academic honesty.

Students are required to warn or to report to the Honor Council or faculty any student suspected of violating the Honor Code, and to inform the instructor of a course in which violations are suspected that he or she may not be achieving an atmosphere conducive to academic honesty. Suspected violations reported to the Honor Council by a student or by an instructor will be investigated and, if the evidence warrants it, a hearing will be held by a Board composed of five members of the Honor Council. Suspected cases of academic dishonesty may be either handled privately by the appropriate faculty member in whose class the alleged infraction occurred, or referred to the Honor Council.

Appeals of actions by the Honor Council shall be submitted to the All-University Judicial Council in writing no later than three class days after the hearing. Appeals of actions taken by instructors independently of the Honor Council may be made through the traditional academic routes.
