Subject: Honor and integrity

As finals approach, the temptation to plagiarize or collaborate on assignments becomes more serious. It is essential that every student works to maintain Trinity University’s community of integrity. Honor Code violations are serious offenses that could impact your class grade and transcript. Seniors graduating in December should remember that suspected honor code violations will still be seen before a hearing panel prior to graduation.

Here are some additional resources you might find helpful:

• Academic Honor Council website for information on the honor code, possible violations, and to email an Honor Council member with questions: http://www.trinity.edu/departments/academic_affairs/honor_code/

• How to cite sources: http://lib.trinity.edu/research/citing/index.shtml

• Automatically generate a bibliography/works cited: http://lib.trinity.edu/research/citing/tutorials10.shtml

• Talk to your professor about the amount of collaboration allowed on assignments and test preparation

Best wishes!
