Mission Statement

The Graduate Review Board (GRB) exists to uphold the Caltech Honor Code as it applies to graduate students. We educate the community regarding the purpose, interpretation, and implementation of the honor code, and investigate and make decisions regarding possible violations which are brought to our attention.

Membership

If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact the GRB Chair or Secretary. We're always eager to increase our membership, especially the representation of options which currently have no members on the Board.

Contacting the GRB

If you have any questions about the honor code, or need to report a suspected violation, please contact the Chair and Secretary (above).
