Princeton University

One of the oldest of its kind, the Princeton Honor Code holds students responsible for academic integrity on campus and governs all submissions of written work, examinations, tests and quizzes. What you really need to know about the honor code is that at the end of every paper and exam you have to write down the pledge and sign your name. The pledge for papers is: "This paper represents my own work in accordance with University regulations." The pledge for exams is: "I pledge my honor that I have not violated the honor code during this examination." If you forget, most professors are kind enough to ask you to stop by and remedy the situation. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid, and this is the last time you'll have to think about it.

Again, "Rights, Rules, Responsibilities" is the place to go for more detailed information on Princeton's policies.

Take it from me
"If there is any Triangle Club performance you should see, it's the Frosh Week show, where you'll hear the 'Honor Code Song.' Remember it, and just sing it to yourself whenever you sign the Honor Code for the next four years."
