An Honor Code usually includes one or more of the following elements: a written pledge in which students affirm that their work will be or has been done honestly; unproctored examinations with a clause obligating students to report any cheating they learn about or observe; and a requirement that students form most of the judiciary that hears alleged violations of the Honor Code. Research shows that students at Honor Code institutions are far less likely to cheat than are those students who attend a school that does not have an Honor Code.
