As an academic community, the College of Business Administration at the University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to providing an environment in which teaching, learning, research and scholarship can flourish and in which all endeavors are guided by academic and professional integrity. All members of the college community - students, faculty, staff and administrators - share the responsibility of insuring that high standards of integrity are upheld so that such an environment exists.

In pursuit of these high ideas and standards of academic life, as a student I hereby commit myself to respect and uphold the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Business Administration Honor Code during my entire matriculation at UIC. I agree to maintain the highest moral and ethical standards in all academic and business endeavors and to conduct myself honorably as a responsible member of the college academic community. This includes the following:

• Not to seek unfair advantage over other students, including, but not limited to giving or receiving unauthorized aid during completion of academic requirements
• To represent fact and self truthfully at all times;
• To respect the property and personal rights of all members of the academic community.

An abbreviated version of the Honor Code pledge may be printed on course syllabi, exam booklets, and other uses as deemed appropriate. The abbreviated version is as follows:

This course and its associated coursework are being administered under the policies of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Business Administration Honor Code. All students are expected to respect and uphold this code.

Honor Code Violations and Enforcement

Violations of the Honor Code are just causes for discipline under the University of Illinois at Chicago Student Disciplinary Procedure, and all allegations of Honor Code violations shall be handled pursuant to that Procedure.
