The Academic Honor Board (AHB) fortifies the College's commitment to academic integrity. A faculty committee with student representation reviews and adjudicates alleged violations of the honor code, ensuring consistency in interpretation, swift and impartial review of alleged infractions, and fair and equitable sanctions for confirmed violations. The AHB also serves as a resource for students, faculty, and administrators when questions concerning the interpretation of the academic honor code arise, regardless of whether an infraction is believed to have occurred. The AHB is distinct both in composition and purpose from the Honor Code Council, which is a student disciplinary board tasked with reviewing alleged violations of the honor code relating to social conduct.
Who receives this report: Chair of the AHB and shared with Board members as needed

Mount Holyoke College seeks to foster a climate of safety and wellbeing that requires the involvement of all community members. To facilitate this process, this report has been provided to encourage faculty, staff, students, and other community members to report observed behavior that warrants concern for the safety of the community and/or the safety of an individual. Perhaps a typically outgoing student has recently become solitary or withdrawn, or maybe a neighbor has demonstrated atypical behavior or choices. Submitting a Care and Support Report is a demonstration of your care for the student-- it's a compassionate decision to bring professional care to a person in need when assistance is required beyond that which a friend can (or should) provide. This form is for NON-EMERGENCY reporting. If this is an emergency, please call Mount Holyoke College Public Safety and Service at 413-538-2304 or x2304 from a campus phone.
