Posts under ‘The CNU Honor Code’

As a transfer student from another college, the first difference I noticed was the importance of the honor code. I think it’s implemented in a way that makes students want to do the right thing instead of just annoying and making them care even less. Abiding by the honor code can make students feel uncomfortable [...]

Honor is where the rubber hits the road.  If an individual does not have honor then ultimately they have nothing.  It is very important to me as a faculty member to be in a university that upholds the value of honor and integrity.  Freshmen get a feel for its importance as they take part in [...]

For the past four years, the honor code of CNU has been a big part of my education and my life. At the beginning, it was always something I thought about before, while and after doing my work. As my time passed at CNU I didn’t have to think about the code anymore. It just [...]

I feel like the honor code is very important to our university and to any business, school, association, or really anything that deals with interactivity between beings.  CNU’s honor code, for example, promotes “honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility.”  These are three very essential traits that every moral student and human being should encompass.  The last part of [...]

I believe the Honor Code at CNU is one of the characteristics of the school that makes it stand out from other schools.  The stress CNU faculty and staff place on the honor code makes everyday at CNU a more pleasant experience.  With the honor code in place, students can be confident that their work [...]

CNU’s honor code is only good in theory. Actually getting students and staff to comply to the honor code is strictly voluntary it seems. To tell someone not to lie, cheat or steal will only register with select people who already had those moral and ethical views in the first place. The practice [...]

I think that the Christopher Newport University honor code is very beneficial to the students because it portrays the ethical standards of the professional business world. The honor code is basically stating that students should be ethical in their schooling by not cheating, plagurizing, etc., which will help us to learn the ethics of the [...]

Being a community of honor means a lot to me.  There are many schools that do not have an honor code.  I think that having one makes us much more responsible for our actions and an all around better community.  From the second that you set foot on campus, as a freshman or if you [...]

CNU prides itself on the fact that it is a university that greatly emphasizes honor and integrity. There is a  reminder in every classroom of what CNU expects of every student with a plaque stating the CNU Honor Code. Even as a freshman, each student signs the Honor Code stating that they will uphold the standard [...]

In my opinion, the CNU Honor Code is a significant part of this university.  By stressing the importance of the Honor Code to students not only when they begin at the university, but throughout their time here as well, it is making it known the impact that honor and integrity have on this community.  I feel [...]

In my time here at CNU, I feel that the honor code has truly been a community of honor.  To me living in this community of honor has lead to security, but also let downs.  In the sense of security I reference my years living on campus. I think actually shut and locked my door [...]

I still remember signing the CNU honor code as a freshmen, but as the days pass by from that moment, the honor code has seem to diminish. The honor code may be everywhere, such as on exams and on the walls in class rooms, but they seem to be rarely enforced through repetition. I believe [...]

Here at CNU the Honor Code is a major part of the university, you hear about it from the first day you move in all the way until you graduate.   The  reoccuring theme of the Honor Code throughout the university on walls in every classroom, on blue books, and tests given out by professors that [...]

The most memorable part of my college experience has been making the promise of honor at convocation my freshman year of college. I remember walking down the ailse and signing my name to pledge my honor to the community of Christopher Newport University. Christopher Newport has gained respect throughout the country for its high standards [...]

CNU’s Honor Code is a key component to the success of this University. The Honor Code promotes a community of honor, trust, integrity, and responsibility. CNU takes such pride in the code that it requires every single Freshman to sign it at Convocation before the first week of school. There are plaques in all the [...]

When I think of the honor code at CNU, I think of it as a guideline to building and individuals integrity. While I believe in following it to the word and feel that there is no room for the “what ifs” I feel like it has become a second thought or even third. When we come in as freshman it [...]

As a CNU business student I don’t see the difference or benefit between the Luter Business School’s honor statement and the rest of the school’s honor code.  With that being said I think CNU does do a good job as a whole of enforcing their honor code.  The strict honor code policies convince students to [...]
