Student Honor Code Agreement

The purpose of this Honor Code is to set forth rules by which the students enrolled with Grad Solutions are managed with respect to academic matters. The integrity of the academic community at Grad Solutions depends upon the maintenance of the highest ethical standards. The success or failure of this Honor Code is dependent on the willingness of those governed by the Code to enforce it and to make an individual commitment to comply with its provisions.

Grad Solutions students are expected to comply with specific learning processes and academic standards for each course. The Honor Code promotes trust in our community, helps develop core values, ensures the comprehension of content and prepares you to adhere to high standards of academic honesty.
