The founded the academic honor society in 1776 and was the first school of higher education in the United States to install an honor code of conduct for students. It is based upon the premise that honor is one's most cherished attribute.In a community devoted to learning, a foundation of honor among individuals must exist if that community is to thrive with respect and harmony among its members. An honor system is an ideal mechanism to ensure such a state of affairs. With it, students and faculty are afforded a freedom that otherwise may not be available. With that freedom comes each individual's responsibility to conduct oneself in such a way that the spirit of mutual trust which sustains the system is not compromised.The Honor Code applies to alleged acts of lying, stealing or cheating that adversely affect the College community committed by a student on campus or elsewhere.US military service academies. Main articles: andPresently, some of the most notable and most stringent honor codes exist at the and.The military academy honor codes not only govern the and lives at the academies but also are deemed essential to the development of military officers who are worthy of the public trust. As such, the codes are not limited merely to academic situations or to conduct on campus; cadets and midshipmen are expected to live by the codes' ethical standards at all times.
The codes are as old as the academies themselves and simply state that cadets and midshipmen do not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do. A single-sanction Honor Code, in which any offense results in expulsion regardless of severity, exists at, which features a 'drum out' ceremony which is still carried out upon a cadet's dismissal. Outside of the military, and the also have single sanction codes.At three of the service academies and at, anyone who learns of an honor code violation is required to report it. Failure to do so is considered 'toleration,' which itself violates the code. That also holds true at schools with combined cadet and traditional student programs, such as, and, whose honor codes specifically provide that all students, both cadets and civilians, do not 'tolerate those who do.' It is notable that the three have two honor codes, one for cadets and one for civilians, whether on-campus or through distance online programs, etc.

A non-toleration clause, on the other hand, is believed to make enemies of classmates. Additionally, it is thought that one's true honor, if other than utmost, was not able to be formally remediated when hidden from public view. Under the academies' honor codes, violators can face severe punishment, up to being forwarded for expulsion by the Secretary of the Army, Navy, or Air Force.Stringent honor codes, however, are not limited to military institutions. The all-male is reputed for an honor code system on a par with military systemswhich extends to all student activities both on and off campus (off-campus violations can be prosecuted), and also like the military system, it considers tolerance of a violation itself a violation. Like the Naval Academy, however, those who witness a violation are encouraged to confront the violator and convince them to turn themselves in before resorting to reporting the violation.
Another school with a very strict honor code is. The university not only mandates honest behavior but also incorporates various aspects of religious law: drinking, smoking, drug use, and premarital sex are all banned.
