Every student shall, upon registering, sign a state- ment giving his word of honor that he will not use, give, or receive aid during examinations or tests, and that he will report all such irregularities as come under his notice to the Student Council. The name of the one reporting and theproceedings of the investigation conducted by the Student Council shall be kept secret. Students are promoted on the basis of credits and not on the basis of classes. Thesis Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall present a final thesis, in English or in Norse.
