Academic Honor System
The members of the Belmont University community seek to provide
students a high-quality education while encouraging in the entire
community a sense of ethics, social responsibility and
interdependence. We believe that trust is a vital part of this
enterprise and that self-discipline and responsibility to one
another are also essential elements. We also believe that any
instance of dishonesty is a violation of the values of the Belmont
University community. Therefore, the Belmont University Academic
Honor System aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic
honesty and social responsibility that:
· Ensures that students,
faculty, staff and administrators understand that the
responsibility for upholding integrity at Belmont University lies
with them;
· Ensures that all members
of the Belmont University community understand that all forms of
dishonesty represent a profound violation of the values of the
Belmont University community;
· Clarifies what constitutes
academic dishonesty and defines standards of behavior expected of
all members of our community;
· Promotes an environment at
Belmont University where integrity is expected and respected and
where dishonesty is not tolerated;
· Defines a statement of
expectations at Belmont University regarding behavior, as well as a
mechanism for a consistent and reasonable adjudication process for
violations of our community.
