Strong Truths Well Lived
______________________________________________________

PLEDGE
"I understand and will uphold the ideals of academic honesty as stated in the Honor Code." All registered undergraduate students of Loyola College in Maryland are automatically bound by the Honor Code. As a basic reminder and reinforcement of this Code's ideals, faculty members are asked to place the pledge on all scheduled tests and papers and the course syllabus.

MISSION
The Honor Code states that all students of the Loyola College Community have been equally entrusted by their peers to conduct themselves honestly on all academic assignments. Our goal is to foster a trusting atmosphere that is ideal for learning. In order to achieve this goal, every student must be actively committed to the pursuit and its responsibilities, and is therefore called to be active in the governing of the community's standards. Thus, all students have the right, as well as the duty, to expect honest work from their colleagues. From this, we students will benefit and learn from the caring relationships that our community trustfully embodies.

The students of this College understand that having collective and individual responsibility for the ethical welfare of our peers exemplifies a commitment to the community. Students who submit materials that are the products of their own mind demonstrate respect for themselves and their community in which they study. These students possess a strong sense of honor, reverence for truth and commitment to Jesuit Education. Accordingly, students found violating the Honor Code will be appropriately reprimanded in the belief that they will, with the support of their peers, learn from the mistake. This Code not only requires students to understand the ideals of Truth and Personal Care as the two strongest educational factors expressed in Cura Personalis, but also calls them to demonstrate a general concern for the welfare of their colleagues and the College.
