• Honor Council Application

    Lyon College | Academic Year 2022-2023
  • The Lyon College Honor System is governed and maintained by the Lyon Honor Council, which consists of student body members selected by their peers. The purpose of the Lyon College Honor Council is to foster a spirit of honor on campus and to hear and act upon alleged violations of the Honor Code.

    The Honor Social Council consists of twenty-two (22) students: seven (7) seniors, seven (7) juniors, five (5) sophomores, and three (3) freshmen. A student who is on academic, honor, or social probation may not serve on the Honor Council. In order to ensure continuity and consistency within the Council, the individuals receiving the largest number of votes during the Honor Council selection process for the sophomore and junior positions will serve two-year terms. All other positions have one-year terms. 

    To apply for an Honor Council seat for the 2022-2023 academic year, please complete the following sections of this application. Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 15, 2022.
