Schools using Honor Codes

Honor Codes come in many forms, but typically include elements of expected self-regulation and self-policing around issues of academic and personal honesty. An example is this code from Davidson, in North Carolina:

Davidson's Honor Code states that "Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from cheating (including plagiarism). Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from stealing; from lying about official college business; Every student shall be honor bound to report immediately all violations of the Honor System which come under his or her observation."
