A Community of Honor

Salem’s Honor Code is a tradition maintained by our students, for our students. At Salem College, you will live in a community that places a high value on integrity and trust. In signing the Salem Honor Code, you instantly gain the respect of your classmates and professors, as well as unique freedoms including the ability to self-schedule your exams.
