ACADEMIC HONOR CODE

In the context of a community of scholarship and faith, committed to fostering a culture where differences are affirmed and anchored in a belief in the inherent dignity of each person, the students, faculty, staff and administration of Stonehill College maintain an uncompromising commitment to academic integrity. We promote a climate of intellectual and ethical integrity and vigorously uphold the fundamental values of honesty, trust, fairness, and responsibility while fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect within and beyond the classroom.

Therefore, we will not participate in or tolerate academic dishonesty.
