Undergraduate Honor Code

Being a Member of our Community of Honor

Integrity is a core institutional value at Babson. In your course work, activities, and life in the residence halls, we challenge you to learn, understand, and reflect on how your decisions impact the Babson community and the broader communities in which you live, work, and serve. We expect you to be ethically responsible leaders, both in business and in life. The Babson College Undergraduate Honor Code creates the kind of campus culture that we believe will foster critical learning and development—an essential element to your success, both as Babson students and future alumni.

The Babson College community is dedicated to providing you with a quality education and enriching student experience with integrity at the core. The Babson College Undergraduate Honor Code sets forth the fundamental principles of academic honesty and integrity in pursuit of the ethical application of knowledge within the academic environment. It also serves as a beacon to inspire and reinforce your ethical decision making across campus by creating in you a sense of moral responsibility to this community.

The Babson College Undergraduate Honor Code sets forth clear expectations with regard to how your behaviors, actions, and decision making support our institutional commitment to integrity. The Code, and all that it comprises, aims to build a Community of Honor at Babson—one that is connected and strengthened by each member’s individual commitment to integrity and ethical decision making in all that we do. As a Babson student, you are committing to being an active and engaged participant in our Community of Honor, in partnership with your fellow students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
