What if a student objects to signing the affirmation at registration or on a final exam or project?

Students who would like to discuss the uses and purpose of the affirmation are encouraged to be in touch with the Honor Council through the Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct (OAISC). Students are required to sign the affirmation to register for classes, but may wish to discuss the affirmation before signing. 

Students who choose not to sign the affirmation on final exams or culminating projects will still complete the exam or assignment. However, the course staff will notify the Honor Council at (617) 384-7239 or honorcouncil@fas.harvard.edu of any student who did not sign so that they may follow up directly with the student.
