It is now time for you and each member of the incoming class of 2015 to formally acknowledge the principles of the Honor Code.

The Atkinson School Honor Code sustains a culture of honor and trust and enriches the Willamette MBA experience for all members of the Atkinson School community. The Honor Code calls for all members of the Atkinson community to act in ways that encourage compliance with the code, whether it be in regard to their own actions or the actions of others. Thus, all members of the Atkinson community (students, faculty and staff) are required to acknowledge the principles of the Honor Code.

Your acknowledgement of the Honor Code may take the form of "acknowledgement" or "acknowledgement with a commitment to abide and promote." The form of acknowledgement you choose is your personal and private choice. Either choice meets the requirement of acknowledging the Honor Code as the overarching standard of personal and professsional behavior at the Atkinson School.

To ensure that every member of the community has acknowledged the Honor Code, the dean's office receives notification when you have completed the acknowledgement. Although, the dean's office will know who has completed the process, no record is kept as to which of the two forms of acknowledgement you marked. Either choice meets the acknowledgement requirement.

Please go to http://willamette.edu/mba/about/honorcode/index.html and login with your Willamette username and password. Your Willamette username is the part of your Willamette email address that precedes the @willamette.edu (be sure to use only lower case letters when inputting your username). Your password will be the password you established when you set up your Willamette email account.

Read the Honor Code and click on one of the two acknowledgement responses. Please complete your acknowledgement of the Honor Code as soon as possible and before 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Monday, July 6th.
