Honor Council: Macon Traditional Undergraduate Programs

The Honor Council serves Macon traditional undergraduate (day) programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Business, School of Engineering, College of Education, School of Music, and College of Health Professions.

New for 2024-25:
-An AI statement has been added to the forms of plagiarism:

When AI usage is permitted by the faculty member, the student must properly attribute AI-generated material including but not limited to in-text citations, quotations, and references.

-The University has disabled Turnitin’s AI detection tool. Turnitin will still be utilized for traditional plagiarism detection.
–Faculty must report alleged violations of the Honor Code (via the Academic Dishonesty Report) within thirty (30) days of discovering the possible violation or by the Registrar’s grade submission deadline for the semester, whichever is earlier (bold font has been added).
-A Student Support Justice role has been added to provide accused students with guidance about the Honor Council investigation and hearing process.
-Information on paraphrasing and quoting as it relates to plagiarism has been added.
-Honor Code violations will be investigated and adjudicated before the end of the drop/add period of the following semester, including summer semester, if possible.
-Accused students must respond to the investigating justice within 3 days, not 5 days.
-Bylaws have been reorganized to better suit students.
