Welcome to the Georgetown University Undergraduate Honor Council
As a Jesuit, Catholic university, committed to the education of the whole person, Georgetown expects all members of the academic community, students and faculty, to strive for excellence in scholarship and in character.
To uphold this tradition, the University community has established an honor system for its undergraduate schools, including Georgetown College, the School of Foreign Service, the School of Business, the School of Nursing and Health Studies, and the School of Continuing Studies. Students are required to sign a pledge certifying that they understand the provisions of the Honor System and will abide by it.
The Honor Council is the principal administrative body of this system. The Honor Council has two primary responsibilities: to administer the procedures of the Honor System and to educate the faculty and undergraduate student body about the standards of conduct and procedures of the System.
The Georgetown Student Pledge
In pursuit of the high ideals and rigorous standards of academic life I commit myself to respect and to uphold the Georgetown University honor system;
To live out a commitment to integrity in all my words and actions;
To be honest in every academic endeavor;
And to conduct myself honorably, as a responsible member of the Georgetown community as we live and work together.
To live out the ideals of Georgetown University I commit myself to be a person for others in my daily life, respectful of difference and disagreement;
To care for this venerable campus and all of those with whom I share it;
And to fulfill in all ways the trust placed in me to carry on the Georgetown tradition.
