Top Five Principles for Students to Live By at Carolina

1. Honor at Carolina is a tradition which traces its roots to the very foundation of the University. As students we are proceeded by over 130 years of self-governance; strive everyday to uphold these principals which we hold in high regard.
2. Do not lie, cheat or steal.
3. If you have a gut feeling that what you are about to do is wrong – STOP and ask for help or find another solution.
4. Reporting a violation is not required under the Honor Code, but students are encouraged to hold each other accountable for their actions.
