Honor Code The University of Texas at Austin strives to create a dynamic and engaging community of teaching and learning where students feel intellectually challenged; build knowledge and skills; and develop critical thinking, creativity, and intellectual curiosity. As a part of this community, it is important to engage in assignments, exams, and other work for your classes with openness, integrity, and a willingness to make mistakes and learn from them. The UT Austin honor code champions these principles: I pledge, as a member of the University of Texas community, to do my work honestly, respectfully, and through the intentional pursuit of learning and scholarship. The honor code affirmation includes three additional principles that elaborate on the core theme: I pledge to be honest about what I create and to acknowledge what I use that belongs to others. I pledge to value the process of learning in addition to the outcome, while celebrating and learning from mistakes. This code encompasses all of the academic and scholarly endeavors of the university community. The honor code is more than a set of rules, it reflects the values that are foundational to your academic community. By affirming and embracing the honor code, you are both upholding the integrity of your work and contributing to a campus culture of trust and respect.
