How to Report a Violation

It is the obligation of all members of the academic community to report alleged violations of the Graduate Honor Code. According to the GHS Constitution, “reporting the observance of a Graduate Honor Code violation shall not be optional; it shall be mandatory”.

Violations should be reported to the Chief Justice or the Graduate Honor System Advisor in writing, using the report form.

Suspected violations of the Graduate Honor Code should be reported within ten (10) class days after the date of discovery. Only under very special circumstances shall exceptions to this policy be granted, and then only at the discretion of the Chief Justice and the Graduate Honor System Advisor.

The receipt of an Honor System referral is acknowledged in writing by a letter to the accused and the referrer.
