Undergraduate Honor Statement

I hereby assume the responsibility of an engaged member in a scholarly and civic community in which academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty. It is my active participation that affirms these principles and gives them true meaning as well as value in my education. I realize that by committing acts of dishonesty I hurt myself and place an indelible mark on the reputation of UMBC. Therefore, I will not cheat, fabricate materials, plagiarize or help another to undertake such acts of academic dishonesty, nor will I protect those who engage in acts of academic dishonesty.
