Get Involved with Student Honor
The Student Honor Office provides valuable opportunities for students to serve on the Student Honor Council. Council members attend regular meetings related to their leadership role and also demonstrate Honor Code observance and lives of Personal Honor.
The council is comprised of three different committees:
Steady Upward Committee
The Steady Upward Course Committee provides a class setting for students who have met with the Student Honor Office for minor Honor Code infractions. Committee members facilitate the class with talks related to Personal Honor in an effort to educate students.
Return with Honor Committee
Members of the Return with Honor Committee review submitted assignments and evaluate the readiness of students who request to be cleared by the Student Honor office and return to the university. Committee members gain satisfaction in seeing a change of heart in students who desire another opportunity to live the Honor Code.
Outreach Committee
The main purpose of the Outreach Committee is to create awareness and educate the university community on Principles of Personal Honor and the Honor Code. The group utilizes teamwork and a creative environment to execute marketing campaigns, promotional events, as well as utilize additional communication channels to extend their voice.
Principles of Personal Honor
- Personal honor is integrity in fulfilling commitments, responsibilities, and covenants.
- Personal honor begins with willing obedience and is fully developed when we consistently govern ourselves by true principles.
- Personal honor increases spiritual strength through the ministry of the Holy Ghost.
- Personal honor is central to every aspect of our lives, including the BYU-Idaho experience.
- Personal honor brings us joy and happiness; deepens our desire to love, serve, and lift others; and ultimately helps us to become more like the Savior.
