Mission
The Center for Honor Enrichment and Community Standards works with students and faculty to
establish Christopher Newport University community standards. Our work
is accomplished through adherence to the University’s Student
Code of Conduct and Honor Code.
At CNU,
these Codes are more than behavioral
standards; they represent an active lifestyle choice. Our
primary focus is to promote honorable behavior
among CNU students, faculty, and staff. We specifically expect students
to adopt the concept of responsible freedom because we believe that
students have rights within and responsibilities to the University and
the CNU community. In addition to working with the
Codes, we are
responsible for programming on honor and ethical decision making,
adjudication of campus offenses, and training on judicial topics, such
as mediation, adjudication, and listening skills.
The Honor Code
On my honor,
I will maintain
the highest standards of honesty, integrity and personal
responsibility. This means I will not lie, cheat, or steal and as a
member of this academic community, I am committed to creating an
environment of respect and mutual trust."
Under the Honor Code of Christopher Newport University it is expected
that all members of the University community will demonstrate honesty
and integrity in their conduct. Lying, stealing or cheating are
violations of the Code that will result in sanctioning.
