Important Resources

Student Handbook

Bentley is a community of students, faculty and staff who are committed to learning. To create the best environment for learning to occur, we as a community embrace the BENTLEY CORE VALUES to guide our conduct. It outlines the resources and opportunities provided to all students as well as the policies and procedures students are expected to follow. All students are encouraged to use this handbook as a resource during your time at Bentley. The Student Handbook is for all students, so there may be some components not relevant to your graduate student experience (e.g. living on campus); however, you should be familiar with the policies that do directly connect. (An updated Student Handbook will be emailed to you at the start of the Fall Term).

Student Handbook

Graduate Academic Catalogue

Students enrolled in the university are responsible for familiarizing themselves with and understanding the implications of all institutional policies, procedures and requirements affecting progress toward their academic goals. These include, but are not limited to, degree and major course requirements, and the university’s grading and course repeat policies. Students who fail to comply with these policies, procedures and requirements do so at their own risk. You can learn about your rights and responsibilities by reviewing the graduate catalogue.
