Background Information (Brief introduction to the Academic Integrity Policy)

The University Guidelines on Academic Integrity (policy) became effective campus-wide on June 1, 2021. The University Guidelines on Academic Integrity is governed and monitored by the Office of Academic Affairs.

The Panther Code of Honor and the PVAMU Honor Affirmation Statement apply to all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled or otherwise participating in PVAMU courses, practicals, seminars, and other educational experiences. The Panther Code of Honor and the PVAMU Honor Affirmation Statement are essential to the honor system’s success and will be facilitated through various avenues. All Prairie View A&M University students have the responsibility to know and observe the Panther Code of Honor and the PVAMU Honor Affirmation Statement.

All students are expected to follow all laws and regulations while maintaining absolute integrity and a high standard of individual honor in scholastic work and personal interaction

PVAMU Honor Affirmation Statement

“I will abstain from dishonesty in all scholastic work.”
