As students, faculty, and staff of Knox College, we live and learn in a community where integrity is highly valued and academic achievement is respected. The Honor Code challenges us to take responsibility for our actions and to maintain the highest levels of honesty in our educational endeavors. It fosters a sense of trust, concern, and respect for others. It helps our students and faculty to invest their time and energies in the primary activities that bring us together on a college campus: learning, knowledge, and understanding. To that end, we ask each applicant for admission to affirm their willingness to abide by the Honor Code by checking the box below. You can find more information about the Honor Code at knox.edu/honorcode.
