Honor and Integrity Peer Educators is the student organization within the K-State Honor and Integrity System.  This past week was Integrity Week and we are trying to educate students about honor and integrity.  Through their office, they work with many students who have some form of academic dishonesty in the classroom. Today, HIPE wishes to remind you of the honor pledge:
  
"On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work."
 
This pledge applies to any part of your academic career - even if you are off campus at an internship site and on any part of your academic progress.

Most of the cases that come through they Honor and Integrity office are plagiarism - both intentional and unintentional so they encourage you to exam their website for student tips on understanding and how to avoid plagiarism as well as unauthorized collaboration.  HIPE did want to make a special announcement that test files are in many cases a violation of the honor pledge unless the instructor has specifically stated that access to previous tests is allowed.  Each class is different and each instructor may have differing requirements.  HIPE hopes that in all academic aspects you really think about your own integrity and academic honesty.
