Honor System

The student-initiated honor system, administered by the Student Honor Council, applies to all aspects of the academic life of the student, including written tests, quizzes, examinations, and assigned written or oral work. Violations of the honor system come under the jurisdiction of the Honor Council, composed of students, elected by the various classes, and a faculty advisor. Each student at Luther College must sign the following statement at the time of registration:

I am aware that an Honor System is in effect at Luther College, and I understand its implications for me as a student. I understand that as a student I am expected to uphold the highest standard of academic integrity, neither giving nor receiving any unapproved assistance, and that I am expected to demand the same standards of academic integrity in my fellow students.
