According to the SJU Student Handbook, "The University exists primarily to sustain the pursuit of knowledge. Learning, to have true value, must be linked to a sense of honesty and integrity. It is the responsibility of every person in the academic community - faculty members, students, and administrators - to ensure that dishonesty is not tolerated. Personal and communal integrity have always been fundamental in Jesuit education, and a sense of honor must be kept alive in every activity at Saint Joseph's University."

Student-athletes are strongly urged to become familiar with the policy on Academic Honesty listed in the Student Handbook, and to act in such a way that the highest standards of honor and integrity are reflected in themselves, their coaches, their sport and the entire Athletic Department.
