Policies

42 Academic Policies and Procedures and they should be approved only if additional information regarding a student’s academic performance suggests that the student is likely to perform well in the master’s component of the Advanced Standing program. All pre-program foundation waivers will be evaluated for all Advanced Standing students because such waivers can also be used to determine if a pre-program foundation course can be used as a prerequisite for a graduate course in the program. This policy will apply to students admitted to an Advanced Standing program in Fall 2026 or later.

• Students in advanced standing undergraduate programs should refer to the Undergraduate Course Repeat Policy.

Transfer of Credit Given the unique orientation of the PhD program, transfer credit will not be given to those who have started a PhD at a different institution. No other previously completed coursework will typically be reviewed for transfer of credit.

Students may not transfer credits earned at other institutions during their leave of absence from Bentley. • Students who start a graduate degree as part of a Bentley University advanced standing program (which allows sharing of up to four graduate courses between the undergraduate and the graduate degree) are eligible to add a program of study through Graduate Academic Advising and Engagement, but cannot share courses between the two graduate degrees.

Transfer students entering Bentley with 30 or more transfer credits are waived from the Communication Intensive requirement.

If a student decides to discontinue an Advanced Standing Program, they should consider the following:

• Enrolled students can choose to discontinue their Advanced Standing Program at any point. Although students cannot typically re-enter the same Advanced Standing program, under special circumstances they may petition the program director to rejoin it. • Students have the option to reapply to another Advanced Standing Program once they discontinue their original program. Acceptance to the new Advanced Standing Program is not guaranteed. • Students switching from one Advanced Standing Program to another may not exceed a total of four graduate courses between programs. • Discontinuing an Advanced Standing Program will terminate future program fees. • If a student discontinues an Advanced Standing Program during their undergraduate degree and has not yet completed four graduate courses, they may qualify to do a blended term during the last semester of senior year (fall or spring semesters only). • If a student discontinues an Advanced Standing Program during their undergraduate degree program but is still interested in graduate study, the student may apply in their senior year to a graduate program through the Office of Graduate Admission (https:// www.bentley.edu/graduate). • Graduate courses taken as an undergraduate student through an Advanced Standing Program will count toward the undergraduate degree but may not count in any graduate program other than the original Advanced Standing Program. This rule applies even if the student discontinued the Advanced Standing Program while an undergraduate. However, courses taken through an Advanced Standing Program may be used as pre-requisites or as a justification for substitutions in a new graduate program. Students should exercise care as to whether they think courses taken elsewhere will offer the proper foundation for their subsequent coursework at Bentley. • Course and Major Focus Communication Intensives may not be transferred to satisfy this requirement. • A maximum of 6 total credits may transfer into a major and 3 total credits may transfer into a minor.

Advanced Standing Pre-Program Foundation Course Waiver Policy Advanced Standing programs at Bentley University give students an opportunity to share four courses between an undergraduate and a graduate program. In addition, these programs provide the students with an accelerated pathway to a master’s degree after they have completed a bachelor’s degree. Each of Bentley’s master’s programs includes pre-program foundation requirements that can be waived with sufficiently good performance in equivalent courses completed before the master’s program. The number of pre-program foundation courses varies between one and five depending on the requirements of the master’s program. For Advanced Standing students, there are pre-defined undergraduate courses that have been determined to be sufficient for providing a specific waiver (see Table 1 below). A student must earn at least a grade of “B” in these courses to get a waiver. In some cases, a student can take an additional, more advanced course to demonstrate sufficient proficiency if the student’s performance in the initial course is not strong enough.

Advanced Standing Program Policy Students enrolled in an Advanced Standing program at Bentley University take up to four graduate courses that are shared between their undergraduate and graduate degrees. If a student decides to discontinue an Advanced Standing Program, they should consider the following: Enrolled students can choose to discontinue their Advanced Standing Program at any point. Although students cannot typically re-enter the same Advanced Standing program, under special circumstances they may petition the program director to rejoin it. Students have the option to reapply to another Advanced Standing Program once they discontinue their original program. Acceptance to the new Advanced Standing Program is not guaranteed. Students switching from one Advanced Standing Program to another may not exceed a total of four graduate courses between programs. Discontinuing an Advanced Standing Program will terminate future program fees. However, students remain liable for previously assessed program fees. If a student discontinues an Advanced Standing Program during their undergraduate degree and has not yet completed four graduate courses, they may qualify to do a blended term during the last semester of senior year (fall or spring semesters only). Blended term courses may be eligible to be applied to a future graduate program, subject to the blended term rules . If a student discontinues an Advanced Standing Program during their undergraduate degree program but is still interested in graduate study, the student may apply in their senior year to a graduate program through the Office of Graduate Admission . Graduate courses taken as an undergraduate student through an Advanced Standing Program will count toward the undergraduate degree but may not count in any graduate program other than the original Advanced Standing Program. This rule applies even if the student discontinued the Advanced Standing Program while an undergraduate. However, courses taken through an Advanced Standing Program may be used as pre-requisites or as a justification for substitutions in a new graduate program.

Advanced Standing Program Policy Students enrolled in an Advanced Standing program at Bentley University take up to four graduate courses that are shared between their undergraduate and graduate degrees. If a student decides to discontinue an Advanced Standing Program, they should consider the following:

Transfer Credit Policy This policy applies to undergraduate transfer students who have earned credits at another accredited institution. Students seeking to receive Bentley credit for coursework completed at another institution must submit copies of course syllabi, course descriptions, and an up-to-date transcript to the Transfer Admissions Office. These materials must be submitted by July 15 for students admitted for the fall semester and January 15 for students admitted for the spring semester . Materials submitted after these deadlines will not be considered for transfer credit . Credit will be evaluated by the Transfer Admissions team, in consultation with faculty, to determine if the course learning outcomes/curriculum match 70% of a course offered at Bentley. Additionally, a student must have received a C or higher in the course to receive Bentley credit.

Transfer of Credit Given the unique orientation of the PhD program, transfer credit will not be given to those who have started a PhD at a different institution. However, students may petition, based on exceptional circumstances. No other previously completed coursework will typically be reviewed for transfer of credit.

All graduate students interested in completing an internship for academic credit must submit the internship approval form. There are no internships in the doctoral program. All three-credit internships are subject to the following policies: All required work for an internship must be completed during the term of registration. Students earning 3 credits are expected to work 20 hours per week for the duration of the academic term unless otherwise noted. Students must have a minimum of an overall GPA of 3.0, unless otherwise noted. The entire application process, including faculty submission of student information to Registrar, must be completed no later than the third week of each semester. Any courses dropped to accommodate internship course registration beyond the add/swap/drop deadline of each semester are considered withdrawals and subject to published refund deadlines. Regular withdrawal deadlines and penalties apply once the student has been registered for the internship course through the Registrar’s Office. Regular grade reporting deadlines apply. All three-credit internships take place within the beginning and end dates of an academic term. Students may commence working at an internship on the first day of classes and must complete their workplace experience by the last day of final exams. Any deviations from this time line must be approved by the internship coordinator and the Associate Provost for Academic Services and Operations. International Students who have only one course remaining in their last semester of study may not take a three-credit CPT (Curricular Practical Training) as their last course unless they take another on-campus course along with it. The three-credit internship may be an extra course, but not the only course taken in that term. For further clarification, contact the Center for International Students and Scholars. A three-credit internship experience cannot be used to extend a one-credit internship; students must clearly distinguish the two in terms of work responsibility and supervision. All one-credit internships are subject to the following policies: Students are limited to one one-credit internship per degree program. All one-credit internships take place within the beginning and end dates of an academic term. Students may commence working at an internship on the first day of classes and must complete their workplace experience by the last day of final exams. Any deviations from this timeline must be approved by the internship coordinator and the Associate Provost for Academic Services and Operations. Students who are still eligible to do a one-credit internship after a three-credit internship may do it at the same firm with the internship coordinator’s approval and must document in the offer letter that it is a different experience. Students must clearly distinguish the two in terms of work responsibility and supervision. One-credit internships are 500-level courses and are designed to be extra courses outside the degree requirements and therefore do not satisfy degree requirements. All one-credit internships cannot be combined with any other courses to meet the overall number of credits required to graduate. All credit-bearing internships are subject to the following Registrar’s Office policies: Current tuition is charged for each credit-bearing internship. The application process, including faculty submission of student information to the Registrar, must be completed no later than the Add/Drop deadline of each semester. Any courses dropped to accommodate internship course registration beyond the Add/Drop deadline of each semester are subject to published refund deadlines. Regular withdrawal deadlines and refund penalties apply once the student has been registered for the internship course through the Registrar’s Office. Regular grade reporting deadlines apply. Incomplete grades must be changed by October 1 for spring and summer internships and March 1 for fall internships in order to avoid conversion to an F. International students must meet immigration regulations in order to complete an internship. Graduate assistants must obtain permission from the Associate Dean of Business to register for an internship course. For more information about graduate Internships, please visit the Graduate Academic Advising and Engagement Website. A graduate degree may be awarded posthumously to a student in recognition of their academic achievement at the time of their death. The degree will be awarded based on the following considerations: The student was enrolled at the time of their passing. The student was in good standing. For master’s students: The student’s earned credits typically constitute three-quarters or more of the credits required for graduation. A master’s student not eligible for a posthumous degree may instead be awarded a memorial certificate, which recognizes the student’s progress toward a degree and contributions to the Bentley community. For PhD students: The PhD degree may be awarded posthumously if the student has successfully passed their comprehensive exams. A PhD student who has not passed their comprehensive exams may receive a Master’s in Business Research degree posthumously if they have completed approximately three-quarters or more of their PhD coursework. A PhD student not eligible for a posthumous degree (either the PhD or Master’s in Business Research) may instead be awarded a memorial certificate, which recognizes the student’s progress toward a degree and contributions to the Bentley community. The Provost, together with the Academic Dean, makes the final recommendation to the Board of Trustees. If approved by the Board of Trustees, the Registrar’s Office will confirm the degree or memorial certificate.

Courses transferred to Bentley from accredited institutions of higher education will be approved for a waiver when the transferred course a) earns transfer credit for the waiver course and b) was completed with a grade of “B” or better. It is essential that all students approved to one of the Advanced Standing programs are regularly kept informed regarding the course waivers they have earned. Each student will receive a report regarding their waiver status: When they are approved to an Advanced Standing program and before they make their program deposit; At the end of each semester once all grades have been entered into the student management system; and At the time of the student’s graduation from the undergraduate program and transition to the graduate program. An Advanced Standing program applicant may ask the program director to consider recommending the approval of a waiver based on a course completed with a grade of “B-.” Such requests should be an exception, and they should be approved only if additional information regarding a student’s academic performance suggests that the student is likely to perform well in the master’s component of the Advanced Standing program. All pre-program foundation waivers will be evaluated for all Advanced Standing students because such waivers can also be used to determine if a pre-program foundation course can be used as a prerequisite for a graduate course in the program. This policy will apply to students admitted to an Advanced Standing program in Fall 2026 or later.
