At Davidson College, the Honor Code is more than just a statement; it represents a collective commitment to honesty and justice within the college community. Students enjoy unique freedoms under the Honor Code, such as unproctored exams and a culture of trust that extends to campus-wide efforts to return lost items. This trust fosters collaboration across disciplines and encourages personal responsibility inside and outside the classroom. Upholding the Honor Code involves refraining from stealing, lying, and cheating, with students attending a formal signing ceremony to pledge their commitment. Any violations are taken seriously and addressed through a student-run Honor Council. Dating back to the college's founding, the Honor Code remains a cornerstone of Davidson's ethos, fostering an environment of integrity and mutual respect among students, faculty, and staff.
