Sweet Briar women do not lie, cheat, steal or violate the rights of others. Therefore I pledge to uphold all standards of honorable conduct. I will report myself and others for any infraction of this pledge.
First-years are required to memorize the Honor pledge and take a test on it before they are allowed to hand in and Pledge any academic work. All academic work must be Pledged, and the consequences for violating that pledge are severe. Because of the high standards held by the honor code at Sweet Briar, students are able to take unproctored, self-scheduled exams. The Honor Code has non-academic applications as well.
