Create a Quiz to control access to other site contents
Sakai had a quick and easy option for adding an integrity pledge within Assignments or Tests & Quizzes, but a direct equivalent does not exist in Brightspace. The closest “automated” option you can get is by using a Release Condition (from Availability Dates & Conditions in the top-right of an Assignment or Quiz). The simplest approach is to create a Quiz with a single question where students must achieve a perfect score, and where access to future quizzes or assignments (or even a Content item) is governed by that result.
Of course, the Quiz could standalone and be tracked and recorded by the instructor for a site-wide agreement.
Once set up, you'll have an Integrity Pledge in the form of a quiz that you can easily copy to other courses.

Make a Quiz
First, create a quiz where students must accept the pledge. It could look like:
The quiz is scored out of 1, is not attached to Grades, and is always available. It will also "give instant feedback" and "auto-publish results". It likely only accepts one attempt.
Add a Release Condition
If you wish to use the pledge to control student access to subsequent learning tools (assignments, quizzes, or content items), you can create a Release Condition within that object.
Find the Availability Dates & Conditions options (or a simplified version of them) in the top-right.
Select the condition type as a score on a quiz:
Select your quiz and set the criteria as a score of 100%:
When finished, you'll see something like:
And alongside any item with a restriction, you'll have:
Lastly, you need to place the Integrity Pledge Quiz somewhere that students will see it before they get to the Assignment or Quiz for which it is a requirement. Existing Brightspace items (including Quizzes, Surveys, etc.) can be easily added to any content text box, forum post, announcement, etc. using the “Insert Quicklink” button.
Your end result could have the Integrity Pledge quiz linked in a content item, or it could look like:
