The Office of Community Standards works to protect and perpetuate the Wentworth Student Code of Conduct. This office, in conjunction with campus partners protect the rights of the community through the enforcement of behavioral expectations and standards. These standards help to construct and reinforce a campus community that supports the academic mission of the Institute by providing a safe, welcoming and supportive campus environment.
Based on the principles set forth in the Wentworth Creed, our Institute is strongly committed to the development of the student and promotion of personal integrity and self-responsibility. Students enrolling at Wentworth become citizens of the community and are entitled to enjoy the privileges and assume the responsibilities associated with this affiliation. All members of the Wentworth community are expected to uphold the Institute’s policies as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Students who violate these policies are subject to disciplinary action. The discipline process is dedicated to being fair and consistent, concentrating on educating students on the importance of community values and responsible behavior.
