Academic Honor Code:
The Academic Honor Code is published in its entirety in the Saint Leo University Catalog. The first
paragraph is quoted below:
University holds all students to the highest standards of honesty and personal integrity in
every phase of their academic life. All students have a responsibility to uphold the Academic Honor
Code by refraining from any form of academic misconduct, presenting only work that is genuinely
their own, and reporting any observed instance of academic dishonesty to a faculty member.
It is the responsibility of every member of the faculty and student body to cooperate in supporting the
Honor Code. Academic misconduct includes but is not limited to the following categories:
