An honor code is a set of rules or principles governing a community based on a set of rules or ideals that define what constitutes honorable behavior within that comunity. The use of an honor code depends on the idea that people (at least within the community) can be trusted to act honorably. Those who are in violation of the honor code can be subject to various sanctions, including expulsion from the institution.
