Honor Code Pledge

According to the Constitution of the Rhodes Honor System:

The term "pledge" refers to the statement: "As a member of the Rhodes College community, I pledge my full and steadfast support to the Honor System and agree neither to lie, cheat, nor steal, and to report any such violation that I may witness."  Although this pledge may not be written explicitly on a particular assignment, it is implicit in every assignment or activity completed at Rhodes College, as the initial Honor Code signing before the beginning of the student’s first year at Rhodes binds him or her to the Honor System.

Historically, however, faculty have often required students to pledge their work by adding the following statement:

I pledge that I have neither given nor received help on this exam [or paper or assignment].

Some faculty members may modify this statement to fit collaborative expectations of a particular class.
