Graduate Honor System

The Graduate Honor Code establishes academic integrity among graduate students. All incoming graduate students are notified of the honor code upon application to Virginia Tech. By accepting admission, you agree to comply with the Graduate Honor Code, which requires honesty and ethical behavior in all academic pursuits. The Graduate Honor System (GHS) upholds and enforces the Graduate Honor Code. The GHS exists to educate students and faculty about the Graduate Honor Code, to investigate and hear all cases that are referred to the GHS, and to impose a penalty when a student is found guilty.

You can find additional information about the GHS by reviewing the Constitution of the Graduate Honor System, which details GHS procedures, rights of accused students, and rights of referrers. The procedures in the Constitution are strictly adhered to in all GHS matters. The Constitution is found in the appendix of the graduate catalog or online at the Graduate Honor System website.
