What Is Trespassing Under Massachusetts Law?

In Massachusetts, trespassing is defined under M.G.L. c. 266 Β§120 as:

πŸ”Ή Entering or remaining on another's property without permission after being forbidden to do so by the person in lawful control, either directly or through posted notice.

Unauthorized entry can occur in areas such as:

🏑 Dwelling houses
🏒 Buildings
🚀 Boats
🌳 Improved or enclosed land
βš“ Wharves or piers
🚌 School buses

Even brief unauthorized presence can lead to a trespassing charge.

What Are the Legal Consequences for Students?

Trespassing is a misdemeanor offense in Massachusetts. If convicted, you could face:

πŸ’° A fine of up to $100
⛓️ Imprisonment for up to 30 days
βš–οΈ Both a fine and imprisonment

More significantly, a conviction creates a permanent criminal record, which can impact future employment, graduate school applications, and other opportunities.

Can Babson College Discipline Me for Trespassing?

Yes. Babson College's Community Code of Student Conduct emphasizes integrity, civility, and respect. Trespassing violations, whether on or off campus, can lead to disciplinary actions, including:

πŸ“€ Disciplinary probation
🚫 Suspension or expulsion
πŸ“š Mandatory educational programs

The college's disciplinary process is separate from the legal system, meaning you could face sanctions even if criminal charges are dismissed or not pursued.
