Georgia Tech Honor Code Agreement

The members of the Georgia Tech community believe the fundamental objective of the Institute is to provide Students with a high quality education while developing a sense of ethics and social responsibility. We believe that trust is an integral part of the learning process and that self-discipline is necessary in this pursuit.  We also believe that any instance of dishonesty hurts the entire community. It is with this in mind that we have set forth a Student Academic Honor Code at Georgia Tech.  For details please visit http://www.honor.gatech.edu/plugins/content/index.php?id=9
