Bentley Resume Building

To help "Sustain our Profession" (engineering and design) Bentley recently deployed a major upgrade to the "Student Only." This enhanced service gives you the opportunity to easily post or update your resume in a system that thousands of prospective employers from the design and engineering communities will be reviewing.

For additional information go to the BeCommunities web page or download the Bentley Information Page (pdf).

Design Studio Request Form

If you are unable to register for a required Architecture design studio, it is important that you fill out an online Design Studio Request Form to inform the department of your need. Click on the link below and follow the directions to submit the form. If we don't know you need a design studio, there may not be room for you.

Design Studio Request Form

The last day to submit a Design Studio Request Form for the coming quarter is two weeks after completion of Registration Rotation.

Studio Use Policy

The Studio Use Policy guidelines were developed to help ensure the safety, security, and integrity of our facilities.  They are intended to foster a culture of respect for our rooms and buildings.  You are asked to become an informed steward of your environment by reading and acknowledging the guidelines.

Go to the Studio Use Policy web page.

You must read the policy and submit the Studio Use Policy Acknowledgement Form prior to receiving keys for fall quarter design studios.
