The Honor System, founded in 1842, is one of the University's most cherished traditions. Under the entirely-student run system, students are forbidden to lie, cheat, or steal. The only penalty for violation of the Honor System is permanent dismissal from the University. In cases where a student is convicted of an Honor offense following their graduation, the Honor Committee will make a recommendation to the General Faculty that the student's degree be revoked. The Honor Committee, composed of 23 representatives from the University's eleven schools, administers the Honor System with the help of nearly 200 support officers.

* One case brought to the Honor Committee was against a student previously dismissed by the Committee. Her case is not included in the number of cases processed.
** One pending trial was suspended after the student involved was found guilty in another Honor trial for a separate offense. In additon, one student left the University and could not be contacted regarding his wishes to leave admitting guilt or request a trial. As a result, that student's transcript and registration will be held until be contacts the Honor Committee regarding a trial.
