Our goal is to support all students while maintaining fair policies that help everyone succeed.
The Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct (OAISC) houses Harvard College’s Administrative Board and Honor Council. Charged by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, these bodies handle a range of matters, including academic reviews, routine and special petitions, and cases involving discipline and misconduct. OAISC also maintains the Harvard College Student Handbook and Honor Code.
Mission
OAISC is committed to advancing the mission of Harvard College by ensuring that its processes are fair, equitable, and educational. We support our students’ intellectual and personal growth through the promotion of integrity and ethical behavior. We collaborate with students, faculty, and staff to make sure these values are reflected within our policies and procedures as we work together to uphold our community’s standards.
Administrative Board
Also known as Ad Board, the Administrative Board ensures student compliance with the College’s academic and social policies. They review unsatisfactory undergraduate academic performance and respond to student petitions, which are requests for exceptions to the academic rules described in the Harvard College Student Handbook. Additionally, the Administrative Board hears all formal cases of social misconduct.
Honor Council
The Harvard College Honor Council is responsible for adjudicating disciplinary cases that arise from potential violations of the Honor Code or rules on academic integrity and academic dishonesty. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences vests the Council with authority over undergraduate disciplinary matters in these areas. The Council’s membership includes undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff.
