Academic Honesty: We support the University's policy on academic honesty, as follows: "Every student must agree to abide by UGA’s academic honesty policy and procedures known as A Culture of Honesty, when applying for admission to the University of Georgia. A Culture of Honesty and the University of Georgia Student Honor Code work together to define a climate of academic honor and integrity at the University. All members of the University Community have a responsibility to uphold and maintain an honest academic environment and to report when dishonesty occurs. Where suspected violations of the academic honesty policy occur, appropriate procedures are designed to protect the academic process and integrity while ensuring due process. The University’s academic honesty system is an academic process founded on educational opportunities."
