Ethics, honor and integrity are the fundamental principles at the core of the Bridgewater College experience. Our community can only flourish in an environment of trust and respect, and these notions of personal honor and academic integrity are the fundamentals of the Bridgewater Honor System. The Code of Honor prohibits cheating, stealing and lying in regard to academic matters, lying during Honor Council proceedings, and failing to report or confront known violators of the Code of Honor, and Bridgewater College’s commitment to ethics, integrity and values is embodied in the Code of Ethics. Violation of these Codes demonstrates harm to the community.
