 The
Honor System is based upon the belief that Lyon College
undergraduates are mature individuals; capable of acting
honorably in all academic matters and that they should
be encouraged to take responsibility for their own
conduct as individuals and as a community. By signing
the Lyon College Roll of Honor upon matriculation,
students commit themselves to the ideals embodied in the
Honor System - integrity, responsibility, and a regard
for others.The Honor System is maintained and
administered by the students through the Honor Council,
made up of students elected by the student body. The
purpose of the Honor Council is to foster a spirit of
honor on campus and to hear and act upon alleged
violations of the Honor Code.
The Social System at Lyon
The Social System was developed in 1994 as an outgrowth of the Honor System and in keeping with the
philosophy that students should assume a significant role in shaping their lives at Lyon. The system
establishes a code of conduct by which Lyon students agree to abide in their interactions with other
members of the Lyon community.
The Social System is administered by students elected by their peers to the Social Council. The
Council's responsibility is to uphold the College's Social System and to uphold the rights of each
student during investigations and hearings. The Council investigates allegations, conducts hearings
when necessary, and may impose penalties up to and including expulsion.
