=== Admissions Oath === | |||
Every new undergraduate student at UNF is required to say a pledge in latin.<blockquote>''Omnibus iuro, in hoc loco me mansurum, et heredibus meis, oppressores meos superaturum et locum hunc quem amo usque ad finem mundi defensurum.'' (Latin) | |||
I swear to everyone that I will remain in this place, and to my heirs, that I will overcome my oppressors and defend this place that I love until the end of the world.</blockquote>The oath was put into place by Alexander Dickson in 1828, when conflicts within the country and British influences flared up again. | |||
=== Honor Code === | |||
Like many prestigeous universities, UNF has an honour code that all undergraduate and graduate students must pledge on the first day of their classes.<blockquote>''Per honorem meum iuro, dum in hac Universitate inscriptus sum, me non mentiturum, non furaturum, non fraudaturum, nec eos qui id faciunt toleraturum.'' (Latin) | |||
I swear on my honor that while I am enrolled in this University, I will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor will I tolerate those who do so.</blockquote> | |||
