• Honor Code
• Honor Council

Independence. Honesty. Trust. Respect. These are the basic elements of Lyon College’s Honor System.

Lyon College’s Honor System is the first step in building that character and setting a solid foundation for a life of integrity, honesty and veracity.

Every student must sign the Roll of Honor when beginning an academic career at Lyon. Held during a special ceremony, each student pledges his or her promise to uphold high standards of academic integrity inside and outside the classroom.

This includes taking exams without supervision and adhering to the Honor System when submitting homework and course assignments. Signing the Roll of Honor binds the students together in a relationship of trust and mutual responsibility.

The Honor System is based upon the belief that Lyon College students are capable of acting maturely and taking responsibility for themselves in all academic matters.

The Honor System is governed and maintained by the Honor Council, which consists of student body members elected by their peers. The purpose of the Honor Council is to foster a spirit of honor on campus and to hear and act upon alleged violations of the Honor Code.

Lyon believes this pledge of trust and respect between the college and the student makes a monumental difference not only in the classroom performance of our students, but in their characters as well.
