Comments: Mississippi State University has implemented a new honor code. Simply
stated it reads, “As a Mississippi State University student I will conduct myself with
honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions
of those who do.”
Academic honesty is expected under all circumstances. Cheating, including copying
homework or allowing others to copy homework, will be dealt with in accordance with
University regulations.
Homework is due at the beginning of class. Homework is to be handed in early and
quizzes taken early for absence due to a University event, no exceptions.
