The Academic Honor System
As a Jesuit, Catholic university committed to the education of the whole person, Georgetown expects all members of the academic community to strive for excellence in scholarship and in character.
To uphold this tradition, an honor system has been established for the University’s undergraduate schools. The School of Foreign Service in Qatar takes academic integrity very seriously. Every SFS-Qatar student is required to sign the Honor Pledge, certifying that he or she understands the provisions of the Honor System and will abide by it. Students reaffirm this pledge at New Student Convocation, just before fall classes begin.
In pursuit of the high ideals and rigorous standards of academic life I commit myself to respect and to uphold the Georgetown University honor system;
To live out a commitment to integrity in all my words and actions;
To be honest in every academic endeavor;
And to conduct myself honorably, as a responsible member of the Georgetown community as we live and work together.
To live out the ideals of Georgetown University I commit myself to be a person for others in my daily life, respectful of difference and disagreement;
To care for this venerable campus and all of those with whom I share it;
And to fulfill in all ways the trust placed in me to carry on the Georgetown tradition.
Every student is required to complete the online Scholarly Research & Academic Integrity Tutorial during the first semester. In first year courses such as the Proseminar, students also receive instruction on proper forms of citation and how to avoid plagiarism.
