What should you do?

9. FOR TRAINING USE ONLY Scenario Your roommate goes out on leave after Friday parade. While getting ready to go out yourself, your roommate calls and tells you he forgot to sign-out. He’s already walked out of the gates and is sitting at the bus stop near Capers Hall. He gives you his Lesene Gateway username and password and simply asks for you to sign out for him. What do you do? What should you tell him to do?

11. FOR TRAINING USE ONLY Scenario You and your roommate decide to ‘hit King Street’ with some buddies from CofC. You all meet up and go to an 18 or older club. Fortunately, everyone is 18. At the door your roommate realizes he left his ID back in his room on campus. Thankfully he looks very similar to his CofC friend who has already gotten in. The bouncer is not looking so your friend asks to use the CofC friends ID. Since the CofC friend is not a cadet, and the ID your roommate is trying to use is a real ID, you assume this is not an Honor Violation. Are you correct?

12. FOR TRAINING USE ONLY WRONG This is an Honor Violation. The Honor Manual states a false official statement as “The use of any document, on or off campus, to misrepresent one’s identity...”. As a result, whether the ID belonged to a cadet or not, your roommate attempted to misrepresent himself.
