Honor Code and Writing Assistance

The Virginia Tech Honor Pledge is: "I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this assignment."

This pledge applies to all work submitted at Virginia Tech! Every student who is admitted to Tech has pledged to abide by the Honor Code. The admission application states this, and by signing it, each student agrees to the Honor Code. Violations of the Graduate Honor Code include cheating, plagiarism, falsification, and academic sabotage. It is the responsibility of the student to become familiar with the requirements of the Honor Code.
