Undergraduate Honor SystemKansas State University's undergraduate honor system is based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance that, in academic matters, each student's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate students, by registering at K-State acknowledge the jurisdiction of the undergraduate honor system.
The policies and procedures of the undergraduate honor system apply to all full-time and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning.
A prominent part of the honor system is the honor pledge, which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by undergraduate students. The honor pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: ``On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work.''
Honor Council
The Honor Council is comprised of students and faculty who are appointed each spring for two-year terms. Students are nominated by the student body president, and faculty are nominated by their respective dean. All nominations are subject to the approval of the provost. Members of the honor council adjudicate the honor system by serving as case investigators, advisors, and hearing panelists.
