It must be obvious who is storing the alcohol within the room. Alcohol is never permitted in lobby areas, hallways, or other public areas.”

“The use of alcoholic beverages in the apartments by students of legal drinking age is allowed if consistent with State laws and University policies. The alcohol must be used for personal consumption only, may not be supplied to other students and must be properly disposed.”

“Alcohol must be transported closed in its original container from the store to the apartment.”

“Students- regardless of age or location within any university housing facility-who are found to have been drinking and who draw attention to themselves through disruptive behavior or the inability to care for themselves may be charged with consumption of alcohol and sanctioned through civil, criminal and university processes as appropriate.”Slide5
