Dear Students and Faculty Colleagues,
I am delighted to report that the Student Government Association and the Representative Faculty Senate have in recent weeks overwhelmingly endorsed an Honor Code for Assumption University. Their recommendation is for the following statement to appear in all syllabi:
We affirm our commitment to honest and original academic work that students complete without receiving undue help and in which they cite outside sources appropriately.
They further ask that the following affirmation be prominently displayed at the top of all major assignments, and that all students sign prior to taking an exam or submitting a paper or project:
I [name] proudly affirm that this is my honest and original academic work, that I have cited outside sources appropriately, and that I have received no undue help from others.
Affirm your commitment to academic integrity at the SGA Banner Signing on Dec. 9, Study Day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the information booth located in the lobby of the Hagan Campus Center. The completed banner will be displayed in the Academic Support Center as a sign of this shared commitment to integrity.
Sincerely,
Greg Weiner, Ph.D.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
