Honor Code

1. Start with your instructor

Every class is different. Schools, instructors, and courses all set their own rules for what you can use, what you can share, and what you can post online.

• If you are not sure what's allowed, ask your instructor.
• If your instructor says something should not be shared, don't share it.
• If your school has an academic integrity policy, you are responsible for understanding and following it.

2. BetterCampus is for honest study

Use BetterCampus to learn, not to cheat. BetterCampus is meant to support studying, planning, and understanding, not to bypass learning or assessment rules.

If you're tempted to use BetterCampus in a way that feels shady, pause. You can absolutely succeed with honest study and the right support.

3. Think about how your uploads impact others

What you share can affect other students. A study set or shared material might look harmless to you, but it can create real integrity problems for someone else.

Examples:

• Old quizzes or practice questions might still show up on a future exam.
• A "helpful" set might accidentally include a current homework solution or answer key.
• Instructor-created materials might be copyrighted or restricted.

If something is restricted, private, locked, timed, or "instructor-only," it does not belong in the BetterCampus library.

4. Strictly prohibited behaviour

Cheating is not allowed on BetterCampus. The following uses are prohibited by this Honor Code (and may also violate the Terms of Service):

• Violating your school's or instructor's academic integrity policies
• Uploading, sharing, or requesting restricted course materials, including:
  • active or locked exams, quizzes, or tests
  • answer keys or solutions for graded work
  • professor or instructor unpublished notes, slides, or materials marked "do not share"
  • content behind paywalls or restricted access
• Sharing study sets or materials during a closed-book exam, proctored assessment, or timed test
• Using BetterCampus (or any shared study set) to plagiarise answers
• Using BetterCampus to bypass LMS security features (for example proctoring tools, timed-access restrictions, or access controls)
• Posting content your instructor asked you not to share publicly

The bottom line: don't use BetterCampus in a way you wouldn't want your instructor (or your school) to see.

5. Reporting and enforcement

We take integrity seriously. We may remove content and take action when we believe this Honor Code has been violated.

Possible actions include:

• removing or restricting access to content
• warning you or limiting features
• suspending or terminating your account
• a permanent ban for serious or repeated violations

In limited circumstances, we may report serious academic dishonesty to an institution when required by law or necessary to address safety or security concerns.

6. See something? Say something.

Help keep the library clean. If you see active test questions, answer keys, restricted materials, or anything that looks like cheating, please report it using the in-product report tools or the support channel listed on our website.

7. Questions

Need help deciding what's okay? If you're unsure whether something should be posted or shared, the safest move is to not post it and ask your instructor.
