The Code of Student Conduct
The Honor Code and Campus Code

The Honor Code

"It shall be the responsibility of every student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to obey and to support the enforcement of the Honor Code, which prohibits lying, cheating or stealing…" (Instrument of Student Judicial Governance, Section II.A)

The Campus Code

"It shall be the further responsibility of every student to abide by the Campus Code; namely, to conduct oneself so as not to impair significantly the welfare or the educational opportunities of others in the University community." (Instrument of Student Judicial Governance, Section II.B)

These two brief sentences constitute the awesome responsibility that students attending the University of North Carolina have shared for over 100 years. The Honor Code and Campus Codes together serve to govern the University's expectations for the behavior of all its students. Although the Chancellor has authority over all matters of student discipline, he has delegated that responsibility to the students themselves.

As such, students are given the freedom of intellectual exchange and the respect to protect the ideas and works of others in the community. The Honor Code prohibits lying, cheating or stealing; therefore protecting the integrity of academic work and personal freedom. The Campus Code protects the personal rights of Carolina students to pursue any goal, while admonishing those that abuse the freedom.
Such a strong spirit of honor does not stop at the end of our brick-laden sidewalks, but follows each Carolina student wherever they are. It is because of this great tradition that graduates of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill know their diligent study will always be respected, both while they are here and after they leave.
