NATI ESLs Honor Code encompasses five values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.

Supporting and affirming these values is essential to promoting and maintaining a high level of ethical conduct and academic integrity. Educating community members about the value and practice of the NATI ESL Honor Code is central to NATI ESL’s mission. The following principles guide the NATI ESL Community:

• Each member of NATI ESL community must be held accountable for their actions.
• As a result of following the Honor Code, a community develops in which members learn the responsibilities of citizenship and how to contribute honorably to their professions.
• If knowledge is to be gained and properly evaluated, it must be pursued under conditions free from dishonesty and within a safe learning environment. Deceit, misrepresentation, and unprofessional behavior are incompatible with the fundamental value of NATI ESL and will not be tolerated.
• Members of the NATI ESL community are expected to foster in their own work the spirit of academic honesty and not to tolerate its abuse by others.
• The first responsibility for adhering to NATI ESL Honor Code lies with individual students, faculty, and staff members of this community.
