Honor Code Council is charged with upholding policies related to honesty and integrity related to one’s role and duties as an RMC student. Honor Code violations include instances of frank academic dishonesty (e.g., cheating, taking responsibility for another’s work) as well as other forms of misrepresentation or misconduct performed in one’s capacity as a student (e.g., using someone else’s ID, loaning a Student Ventra card). The complete Honor Code and Honor Code Council Policies and Procedures may be found here.
