Academic Integrity
Immaculate Heart believes that academic integrity is closely allied to the development of self-esteem. A young woman demonstrates her academic integrity when she produces her own original work, when she takes an exam without cheating, and when she acknowledges another’s ideas by identifying author and source. Therefore the Honor Code was created to help guide students to strive for excellence, to take pride in their work, and to develop a moral compass.
Honor Code
