Cadet Honor Code

<p>In the United States, a Cadet Honor Code is a system of <a href="/facts/Ethics/wNVNgL5q">ethics</a> or <a href="/facts/Code_of_conduct/EB7soVIQ">code of conduct</a> applying to <a href="/facts/Cadet/aVKXpQ1I">cadets</a> studying at <a href="/facts/Military_academies/3kujPRTA">military academies</a>.  These codes exist at the <a href="/facts/United_States_service_academies/mQ6rGEP0">federal service academies</a>, such as the <a href="/facts/United_States_Military_Academy/px9g8rhT">United States Military Academy</a> and the <a href="/facts/United_States_Air_Force_Academy/LhmgXJ7b">United States Air Force Academy</a> and at the <a href="/facts/United_States_senior_military_college/WNJKrk2F">senior military colleges</a>, as well as other military schools and colleges.  The <a href="/facts/United_States_Naval_Academy/zKBGBBUC">United States Naval Academy</a> and <a href="/facts/United_States_Coast_Guard_Academy/AnK6YEQQ">United States Coast Guard Academy</a> have a related standard, known as the <a href="/facts/Honor_Concept/n0juk5mj">Honor Concept</a>.
</p><p>Since it applies to all facets of a cadet's life, a cadet honor code is distinct from an <a href="/facts/Academic_honor_code/7JCgErHv">academic honor code</a>, which is used at many universities and colleges around the world but applies to academic conduct only.  The codes apply to all cadets enrolled in the military programs at the institutions which use them.
