Academics and Honesty: 

The High Point University Honor Code Initiation 

The mission of High Point University is to provide an 

education “grounded in the development of character, 

personal responsibility, and a sense of civic duty that 

prepares students for leadership, citizenship, and service 

in a diverse global community.” The Honor Code is the 

cornerstone of an education focused upon the development 

of humane instincts and disciplined and created minds 

dedicated to lives of leadership and service. High Point 

University has chosen to be a liberal arts institution, 

to honor its historic relationship to the church and to 

emphasize commitment to the highest personal and 

community values. The essence of membership in the High 

Point University community is set forth in the Honor Code. 

The Honor Code is a declaration by the entire community, 

students, faculty, staff and alumni, that the honorable 

course is the most just course, and therefore the best course. 

Signing the Honor Code is far more than a mere pen-andink 

ceremony, it is a pledge to work to create a community 

of honor and integrity that truly is “counter-cultural”.

Testing 

Academic 

Ass e ss m ent 

All students will be required to participate in 

several academic testing sessions throughout 

the school year. The purpose of these testing 

sessions will be to evaluate the general education 

curriculum, student satisfaction, and several other 

areas that are important to the operation of High 

Point University and the well being of its students. 

Further information about these testing sessions 

will be provided to you each semester by the Office 

of Institutional Research and Assessment. 

IMPORTANT NOTICES 

Students should take all on-line placement tests by August 3rd, 2009. You will receive the results of all completed tests 

with your O-Pak (Orientation Package) on move-in day. 

Students who are unable to take the math or reading tests before the August 3rd deadline should still take the test on-line 

prior to arrival with the understanding that your O-Pak may be incomplete when you arrive. (Additional opportunities to 

complete all placement tests will be provided on Saturday, August 22nd; see schedule on next page). 

Because the on-line Spanish test will be closed at midnight on August 3rd, students who do not take this test prior to 

August 3rd MUST take it in person on Saturday, August 22nd, 2009. 

All placement tests may be accessed at http://placement.highpoint.edu 

Please direct all questions regarding placement tests to Dr. Jeff Adams, Director of Institutional Research and Assessment,

Foreign Language Placement Testing 

Some entering students are placed in a foreign language course based on their high school record and other data. 

However, many students will need to take a placement test:

O Pack when you arrive, you will need to take the appropriate placement test on Saturday, August 22nd at 1:30 pm in 

Roberts Hall Rm. 120, 121, 122, or 123 (see schedule on next page). 

A Note about Studying a Different Language 

If you wish, you may take a language other than the one studied in high school. However, you are strongly encouraged to 

take the placement test in your high school language if you had 3 years or more, in case you change your mind and decide 

to continue with the language previously studied.

University Honor Code 

PREAMBLE 

We, the students of High Point University, believe that honesty and integrity 

are essential to student academic development. Therefore, we assert the following: 

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from cheating; 

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from collusion; 

Every student is honor-bound to abstain from plagiarism; 

Every student is honor-bound to report a violation of the University Honor Code; 

Every member of the University community is expected to be familiar with the Honor Code 

24

University Conduct Code 

PREAMBLE 

We, the students of High Point University, shall 

seek excellence in the classroom, on the playing 

field, and in positions of leadership and service 

across our campus. 

As a community of scholars, we shall work 

together with faculty to create an environment 

conducive to teaching and learning. 

As a community of persons, we shall treat 

each other with compassion, with dignity, and with 

civility – avoiding bigotry, racism, and sexism and 

learning from each through the diversity we bring to 

High Point. 

As persons, we shall be honest and just in all 

that we do, recognizing that we can never be greater 

than the integrity of our word and deed. 

As citizens of a global community, we shall act 

responsibly, both on campus and off–governing our 

actions not only by our personal needs and desires 

but also by a concern for the welfare of others, 

for the general good of humankind, and for the 

environment upon which we mutually depend. 

Recognizing that communities cannot exist 

without values and codes of conduct, we shall search 

for enduring values; and we shall adhere to those 

codes of conduct which have been established by 

and for the members of High Point University. 

When we leave High Point, we shall leave it 

better than we found it – and in support of this 

goal, we pledge our loyalty and our service to this 

University which we have chosen as our own. 

25

The Nature 

of the Academy 

First, a college or university is an educationally purposeful community — a place where 

faculty and students share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning on 

campus. 

Second, a college or university is an open community — a place where freedom of expression is 

uncompromisingly protected and where civility is powerfully affirmed. 

Third, a college or university is a just community — a place where the sacredness [supreme worth] of 

the person is honored and where diversity is aggressively pursued. 

Fourth, a college or university is a disciplined community — a place where individuals 

accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governance procedures guide 

behavior for the common good. 

Fifth, a college or university is a caring community — one in which the well-being of each 

member is sensitively supported and where service to others is encouraged. 

26 

Sixth, a college or university is a celebrative community — one in which the heritage of 

the institution is remembered and where rituals affirming both tradition and change are widely shared.

Beyond Orientation 

HPU is an extraordinary institution that provides an engaging atmosphere for 

its students. While the Orientation Program is designed to provide students with 

countless opportunities to meet their peers and get involved, the university also 

offers a full calendar of events that students are encouraged to attend. In addition 

to some of the highlighted events listed below, members of the freshman class will 

have opportunities throughout the first semester to meet fellow freshmen in smaller 

settings. The Residence Life Staff organizes “Hall Mixers” that allow small groups 

of students to meet other students who live in different residence halls. In locations 

ranging from the Slane Center Pool to many of the residence hall lobbies, students 

will have the opportunity to be formally introduced, in a casual setting, to other 

members of the freshman class. While we are proud of our residence halls, we want 

to encourage our students to utilize every inch of our campus and engage in dialogue 

with faculty, staff and friends.
