Welcome
 | Academic Integrity is the foundation of the university and our academic endeavors. The integrity of knowledge and our trust in each other is based on shared expectations within the academic community. Maintaining that integrity and trust requires everyone’s commitment and active participation. The Rice Graduate Academic Integrity System was established by the Senate and the Provost to investigate cases of possible violations of the Honor System by graduate students in coursework. This website includes the expectations and the procedures of the Graduate Academic Integrity System, including how to report a graduate student whom you observe or suspect to have violated the Graduate Honor Code. Suspension or expulsion will generally be the outcome for repeat offenders. Questions can be addressed to gradhonor@rice.edu. Please study the Graduate Academic Integrity System so that you understand how it functions, and what happens when violations may have occurred. Through your continuing investment in this Rice commitment to academic integrity, you, your fellow students, your faculty, and all members of the Rice community can continue to reap the benefits of having well-founded trust in one another.
