Honor System

Students take all written examinations and complete any specifically designated assignments under the honor system. By committing themselves to the honor system, all students accept responsibility for assuring the integrity of the examinations and assignments conducted under it. The Graduate Honor Council (GHC) is responsible for investigating reported violations and for conducting a hearing when the facts warrant. The Office of Student Judicial Programs works with the relevant offices on campus to implement the penalties of the GHC. Procedures for accusations arising out of summer classes or Rice Online classes may differ.

The Honor Code and other related information and resources are located at the homepage of the Graduate Honor Council: https://gradhonor.rice.edu/.
