Harvard College Honor Council
The Harvard College Honor Council handles disciplinary cases that stem from potential
violations of the Honor Code or rules on academic integrity and academic dishonesty. These
include, for example, potential plagiarism, inappropriate collaboration, exam cheating, and
copying, and other violations. (See also “Honor Code” and “Academic Integrity and Academic
Dishonesty”).
The Honor Council’s authority to handle all undergraduate disciplinary cases involving the
Honor Code and rules on Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty derives directly from the
Faculty. All meetings and discussions of the Honor Council are confidential. It is the policy of the
Faculty that while evaluation of academic work is entirely in the hands of the instructor,
questions of academic honesty are adjudicated by the Honor Council. Students have a right to
expect that grading will not be used as punishment for alleged academic dishonesty that has not
been confirmed by the Honor Council. Students may ask the Honor Council, through their
Resident Dean, to investigate and resolve informal allegations of academic dishonesty that have
not been brought to the Council’s attention by a faculty member.
The Honor Council is made up of an equal number of Harvard College undergraduates and FAS
Faculty members, administrators, and GSAS teaching fellows. Members are selected to
represent the academic community as broadly as possible. The Honor Council publishes its
procedures to provide members of the Harvard College community with a guide to its work.
Those procedures are presented on the Honor Council’s website
(https://honorcouncil.fas.harvard.edu/).
Students may request that their case be reconsidered provided that new materially relevant
information becomes available or there is reasonable evidence of a procedural error. A student
has the option to appeal some disciplinary decisions of the Honor Council to the Faculty
Council. Information on this process may be obtained from the student’s Resident Dean, the
Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct, or the Secretary of the Faculty.
ACTIONS OF THE HONOR COUNCIL
In making a decision, the Honor Council is guided by the educational development of the
student and the standards of the academic community as set forth in the Honor Code. It should
be noted that students are considered in good standing when they are not on probation and
have not been required to withdraw, dismissed, or expelled from the College for either academic
or disciplinary reasons. Warnings and admonitions do not affect a student’s good standing.
If the Honor Council determines that the Honor Code or rules on academic integrity and
academic dishonesty have been violated, it may take the following actions:
