Hartwell Divinity School™ holds to the same principles of honor that govern Hartwell™ at large (see below) with the following additions that are necessary due to the high level of character and integrity required of church leaders and seminarian students.

                  Concerning Plagiarism, A.I. Generated Work, and Use of Sources: HDS holds that plagiarism and A.I. generated work are not acceptable in student assignments, papers, or presentations. A.I. generated work may be acceptable in certain circumstances given a unique assignment and professor approval. If students are discovered to have engaged in egregious plagiarism or the use of A.I. generated work, they will automatically receive a failing grade for the class and must present a case before the dean of HDS in order to determine whether or not they will be allowed to continue in the program. Minor errors in plagiarism will result in either a full letter grade dock or a zero on the given assignment at the professor’s discretion.

                  Concerning General Morality: HDS requires that students hold to a conservative Christian morality that upholds the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman, the sanctity of sexuality within marriage, the image bearing nature of the unborn child, and general biblical conduct that precludes drunkenness, licentiousness, and other acts of immoral behavior as outlined in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Ephesians 5:3-4 (these are only a few examples of prohibited behavior in Scripture).

                  As HDS is a divinity school, we hold to the premise that we are discipling our students into mature citizens of the Kingdom of God. As such, students who wish to present polemic (argumentation) papers in support of views that are out of agreement with HDS’s doctrinal statement must be authorized by both the professor of the class and the dean of the divinity school. Failure to follow this proscribed method will result in dismissal from the school on grounds of promoting subversive doctrine.
