Honor Code: The Vanderbilt Honor Code serves as a cornerstone for academic integrity, fostering a culture of honesty and accountability within the university community. It entrusts students with the responsibility to complete their academic work independently, without unauthorized assistance. Upholding the Honor Code not only reinforces ethical values but also cultivates an environment conducive to genuine learning and scholarly excellence. Learn more about the Honor Code in the Student Handbook.
