Academic Integrity and the Honor Code :
All students are covered by a policy that prohibits dishonesty in academic work. TheAcademic Integrity Policy (AIP) covers all students who entered Trinity before the fall of 2004. The Academic Honor Code covers all those who entered the fall of 2004 or later.
The Academic Integrity Policy (AIP) and the Academic Honor Code share many features:
- each asserts that the academic community is based on honesty and trust; each contains the same violations;
- each provides for a procedure to determine if a violation has occurred and what the punishment will be;
- each provides for an appeal process.
The main difference is that the faculty implements the AIP while the Code is implemented by the Academic Honor Council. Under the AIP, the faculty member determines whether a violation has occurred as well as the punishment for the violation (if any) within certain guidelines. Under the Code, a faculty member will (or a student may) report an alleged violation to the Academic Honor Council. It is the task of the Council to investigate, adjudicate, and assign a punishment within certain guidelines if a violation has been verified.
Students who are under the Academic Honor Code are required to pledge all written work that is submitted for a grade: "On my honor, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized assistance on this work" and their signature. The pledge may be abbreviated "pledged" with a signature.
