Aggie Honor System Office

Integrity is a fundamental core value of Texas A&M University. Academic integrity requires a commitment by all faculty, students, and administrators to:

  • Remain constantly focused on the quality of our academic programs;

  • Achieve and maintain academic excellence in all courses and programs to assure the value of Texas A&M degrees;

  • Demand high academic standards from all members of the Aggie community.

All Texas A&M students, graduate and undergraduate, part-time or full-time, in residence or in distance education, are expected to follow the guiding rule of the Aggie Honor Code: “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.”

Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning, and to follow the philosophy and rules of the Aggie Honor System Office (see www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor). Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the Texas A&M community from the requirements or the processes of the Aggie Honor System Office.

The Aggie Honor System Office is charged with promotion of the honor code and administration of academic dishonesty cases. The Honor Council, comprised of students and faculty from colleges and offices across the university, will investigate all such infractions of the honor code and recommend appropriate sanctions.
