Honor Council

MISSION:
The mission of the UAMS College of Public Health Honor Council is to promote, encourage, and ensure compliance with the standards of the Code of Academic Integrity.

SERVICE:
The election of representatives from the COPH student body to the Honor Council is held in the spring term of each year with the term of service beginning the following fall term.  The Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs assists the Council in conducting the election.  The five student representatives serve two-year terms with two or three representatives rotating off the Council each year.  One of the two student alternates is also elected from the student body each year.  The Dean appoints one of two faculty representatives to the Honor Council each spring.  Each faculty representative serves a two-year term.

The Honor Council meets at least once a year to orientate new members.  The Council meets as needed throughout the year.
