Students in the Undergraduate Program in the Henry B. Tippie College of Business adhere to an honor code that provides an ethical guide that emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in their academic and preprofessional lives.

The Tippie College's goal is to prepare our students to be competent professionally and ethically. Developed by and for students, our Honor Code sets the expectation that Tippie students develop socially and ethically based behaviors and values and that these principles guide their decision making and actions. The spirit of the Honor Code is a primary component of the Undergraduate Program's mission and supports the components of the college's branding initiative,
The Power of I.

Each student enrolled in Henry B. Tippie College of Business courses accepts personal responsibility to uphold and defend academic integrity and to promote an atmosphere in which all individuals may flourish.

Through the Honor Code, Tippie students:

• Commit to scholastic honesty and integrity;
• Agree to maintain the spirit of the Honor Code;
• Strive to set a standard of honest and ethical behavior that reflects well on Tippie students, the Tippie College of Business, and the University of Iowa.

Honor Code Offenses
