Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Of course, there are rules that are enforced for the safety of everyone who lives, works, or studies on campus, but compared to most private, Catholic institutions, Barry is not too strict. In terms of visitiation policies, residents in Dalton-Dunspaugh, Kolasa, Benincasa, and Weber halls must sign in their visitors. Smoking is okay on campus, but any drugs besides cigarettes will get you into a lot of trouble because Barry has a no-tolerance policy for illegal drugs—so do not bring any here. If you are underage and found with alcohol-related possessions, you may have to do community service and/or get placed on academic probation. Fighting is not acceptable at Barry, but you rarely hear about fighting here anyway.

On the academic side, students get points for class attendance, and depending on the class, you can only miss four to six days per semester. If you miss more than that, you will fail the class, regardless of the work you submit. Barry’s Public Safety, administration, and Department of Residential Life can be strict when it comes to rule violations, so do all you can to avoid trouble. Barry is a small school, and if you mess up, a lot of people will know about it.

Barry Policies

Campus policies are pretty strict about underaged drinking and drugs. The first alcohol violation includes a warning and community service; the second violation has an increase of community service, assessment by counseling, and possible housing probation; the third violation can result in university probation.

It's Who You Know

At Barry University, it will take you a long way to make friends in higher places. If you are closer to your teachers, they are naturally more lenient and understanding. If you are friends with the RA's, your midnight discrepancies are usually over looked as "hyperactive antics". In lue of that, there are many policies designed to keep students safe, as well as to ensure that the campus is operational and treating students as adults. Just yesterday, a student was approached about possible plagiarism, but because she was an athlete, the teacher suggested that the student drop the class instead of being reported. In addition to this, some teachers adhere firmly to the policies implemented by the school, and some are more lax. I feel like this provides a good balance, because an institution that is too strict can place too much stress on students, causing further unruly behavior. Here, they understand that we're blossoming adults learning about responsibility.
