A long-cherished tradition and the basis of all life at Meredith is the Honor System. Founded upon the premise that dishonesty of any nature has no place in the Meredith community, the system demands of each student personal integrity and responsible citizenship. It is the Honor System and the spirit it engenders that unite the students to form a community in which the freedom and trust essential to intellectual growth and maturity prevail. Its operation entrusted to the student body, the Honor System, depends for its effectiveness upon each student’s belief in the principles underlying the system and on the student’s insistence that it work. Each student is personally responsible for his/her own conduct and obligations to the community. If a student is aware of a violation of the Honor Code by another student, the matter should be called to the attention of that student as a violation of responsibility to the community. Because all life at Meredith is based on this system, if you cannot agree to live by it, you should not apply for admission. Your signing and submitting this application will indicate your willingness to accept both the responsibilities and the privileges of the Honor System of Meredith College.
