While you may not realize it, the Kellogg Honor Code is entirely separate from the classroom etiquette policy.

The Kellogg Honor Code governs student conduct pertaining to all academic, placement and extracurricular activities associated with the Kellogg School of Management. The Kellogg Honor Code is based on four main points:

· Not to seek an unfair advantage over other students, including but not limited to giving or receiving unauthorized aid during completion of academic requirements

· To truthfully represent fact and self at all times

· To respect the property and personal rights of all members of the Kellogg community

· To uphold the Kellogg Honor Code by reporting all material violations, and by fully cooperating with and protecting confidentiality of any Honor Code proceedings.

The Kellogg Code of Classroom Etiquette was established to assist student and faculty alike to foster appreciation for a classroom environment that enhances the learning experience for all students. Adherence to the classroom etiquette policy will add value to each course by creating a more meaningful and constructive discussion. Specifically the Kellogg Code of Classroom Etiquette addresses;

· Attendance

· Punctuality

· Entering and Exiting the Classroom

· Disruptive Behavior. (Including - Laptop Use)

· Respecting the Facilities

It is important that everyone realized the difference in these two policies. Each is an important policy that helps strengthen the Kellogg community.
