Alcohol Policy

Consistent with the philosophy expressed earlier, students are expected to make responsible decisions concerning the use of alcohol. The university recognizes and abides by all state laws, and will cooperate with civil law officers whenever the law requires. Students who violate the alcohol policy, or who interfere with the educational environment of the hall, may face removal from housing and/or University disciplinary action.
