FAQs โ Curry Students Facing OUI
Is OUI a felony in Massachusetts?
Noโfor a first offense, it's a misdemeanor. Multiple offenses or injuries can elevate it to a felony.
Can I be suspended or expelled from Curry?
Yes. If the college determines the incident violates its student conduct policies, disciplinary action is possibleโeven for off-campus incidents.
What if I refused the breath test?
Refusing results in an automatic license suspension but limits evidence the prosecution can use, which can sometimes benefit your case.
