Since the first classes began at Vanderbilt, the Honor System has served to strengthen the academic integrity of the university. The Honor Council was formed to help enforce and protect the tradition of the Honor Code. Today, the Honor Council serves two simultaneous aims: to enforce and protect the Honor Code and to inform members of the Vanderbilt community about the Honor System. To the left are several links to pages designed to provide information and help answer questions about the Vanderbilt Honor System and its mission.
