“I pledge my honor that on this examination I have neither given nor received assistance not explicitly approved by the professor and that I have seen no dishonest work.”
The Honor System at St. Olaf College, initiated in 1911, is an agreement between the faculty and the students. The faculty agrees to leave the responsibility for proper and honest conduct during written examinations in the hands of the students. The students agree to engage with the pledge truthfully.
We at St. Olaf are proud of the Honor System and the community standards upheld by our students.
