The Academic Honor System is an essential part of the college program. Under the Honor System, students take tests without proctors. The system also covers rules for research papers and other assignments. It is based on trust and maturity. It reflects the academic attitude of the Colorado College community. Before entering the college, students pledge to uphold the Honor Code, whose principles and rules are embodied in the Constitution of the Honor System. All students are expected to read and understand it in its entirety. Violations are handled by the Honor Council. Honor Council The Honor Council protects and preserves the academic rights of the student body. It has 16 voting members, all elected students. The council notifies an accused student of an academic violation, then conducts its own hearings. All proceedings are kept confidential. Students have the right to appeal Honor Council verdicts within 72 hours of conviction. Please Note: Students are completely responsible for knowing and upholding the Honor Code. Moreover, the Colorado College and the Honor Council take violations very seriously and such violations can be a grounds for dismissal from the college.
