The Honor Council is the judicial branch of SGA. Honor Council exists to enforce and uphold the integrity of the Meredith College Honor Code. Honor Council positions are elected during campus wide and class elections. Honor Council consists of a chair, secretary, solicitor general, support counselor, two representatives from each class, two representatives from AMC, two representatives from WINGS, four faculty members, and the Dean of Students.

The Review Board is the branch of Honor Council that hears appeals from Honor Council sentences that is advised by the Vice President of Student Development.

The Residence Hall Hearings Committee (RHHC) is the branch of Honor Council that handles honor code violations in the Residence Halls. This committee also works off of RHA.

 

Statement of Honor:

We, the Meredith Community, are committed to developing and affirming in each student a sense of personal honor and responsibility. Uncompromising honesty and forthrightness are essential elements of the commitment. The Honor System is a method by which individual honors are protected and maintained. Any dishonorable action will be regarded as a violation of this commitment, and corrective action will be taken.

If I am in violation of the Honor Code, to prevent jeopardizing the Honor System or weakening our system of self-government, I have an obligation to report myself to the proper authorities. If I am aware of a violation of the Honor System by another student, I shall call this matter to the attention of that student as a violation of responsibility to the community.

In choosing Meredith College, I am accepting the Honor System as a way of life. As a Meredith student, I am responsible for insuring that the Honor System is at all times carried out.
