Responsibilities
Attendance at Bentley bears with it responsibilities not only to obey the laws of the Commonwealth, including those that may differ from the laws in a student's home state and applicable federal laws, but also to adhere to the rules of the college, to the standards of the community, and to respect the rights of others.
If a student's actions on or off campus should result in a violation of Massachusetts law or Federal law, he or she may incur penalties as prescribed by civil authorities. While college authority will not be used to duplicate the function of the civil and/or criminal courts, its judicial process may be invoked independently of the courts.
Students are responsible for their own behavior. Should a student's behavior be found unacceptable by the judicial system on campus, he or she may be warned or sanctioned according to the nature of the violation, up to and including expulsion from the college.
