== Honor Code ==

Haverford's Honor Code, entirely student-administered, distinguishes the college from peer institutions where faculty and administrators manage academic integrity. Students pledge to govern themselves according to principles of trust, respect, and concern for others, with an elected Honor Council addressing violations through educational rather than punitive processes. This system reflects Quaker confidence in individual integrity while creating community responsibility for maintaining ethical culture.<ref name="haverford"/>

The Code extends beyond academic integrity to social interactions, with expectations that community members treat each other with respect and address concerns directly. Self-scheduled, unproctored examinations demonstrate institutional trust in student integrity. This culture of honor shapes student experience profoundly, creating expectations for ethical behavior that graduates often cite as among the college's most lasting influences on their development.<ref name="haverford"/>
