Engineering Honor Code

The Honor Code outlines standards for ethical conduct for graduate and undergraduate students, faculty members, and administrators of the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Policies

When Taking an Examination
The Honor Code holds that students are honorable and trustworthy people and encourages them to behave with integrity in all phases of university life. During examinations, the instructor is available for questions, but the examination is not proctored.

The instructor will announce the time and place of the examination. At the start of the examination, the instructor's whereabouts during the exam will be communicated to the class in case a question arises.

Students have the right to have at least one empty seat between themselves and their neighbors. This helps ensure comfort during the examination and reduces the temptation to cheat. It is the instructor’s responsibility to ensure that there is adequate seating beforehand, and to obtain additional rooms if necessary.

During the examination, students are free to leave the room. Minimal essential conversation is allowed. However, no communication regarding the examination is allowed inside or outside the room. All questions about the examination should be directed to the instructor.

It is the instructor's responsibility to inform the class prior to the examination if aids, such as calculators, notes, or textbooks, are allowed during the examination.

After Each Examination

Students must write the Honor Pledge in their test books and sign their names under it. The Honor Pledge is as follows:

I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this examination, nor have I concealed any violations of the Honor Code.


Homework and Laboratory Assignments

The principles of the Honor Code apply to homework and laboratory assignments as well as to examinations. The instructor may allow collaboration among students on such assignments. The instructor is to make clear how much, if any, collaboration is permissible. The instructor may also require that students write and sign the Honor Pledge on their homework and lab reports.


Academic Records

Tampering, alterating or otherwise misusing these documents is a violation of the Honor Code.


Course Registration

The University Registrar’s Office provides students with a registration date in accordance with their own policies. Registering for a course in order to hold a seat for another student is a violation of the Honor Code.


The Engineering Honor Council is composed of students from the College of Engineering. The primary purpose of the Honor Council is to investigate suspected violations of the Honor Code.
