Reasonable Limits of Alcoholic Beverages

Students of legal drinking age may have quantities of alcohol as defined below. Possession of large amounts and/or providing alcohol to minors is prohibited.  Social gatherings other than defined in Section IX at which alcohol is served are strictly prohibited unless registered in advance in accordance with the Social Event Registration Policy. Responsibility to assure that a guest is of legal drinking age rests with the resident host(s).  No one under the legal age may possess or consume alcohol.

• Per Room Limit: The following guidelines are permissible only for those students 21 years of age. The maximum amount of alcohol for single and/or double occupancy rooms is one case of beer (i.e. up to 30 - 12 ounce containers) or 1 liter of hard liquor (not to exceed 80 proof) or 2 bottles of wine (not to exceed 750 ml per bottle at a 12% alcohol content).  The maximum amount of alcohol for a triple room and/or four or six person suite is two cases of beer (i.e. up to 60 - 12 ounce containers) or 2 liters of hard liquor (not to exceed 80 proof) or 4 bottles of wine (not to exceed 12% alcohol content for each bottle).
• Common sources of alcohol (kegs, half-kegs, quarter-kegs, beer balls, or punches) are not permitted on campus and are subject to confiscation regardless of age.  Large quantities of alcohol for group consumption are permitted for events that are approved in accordance with procedures established by the Social Event Registration Policy.
• Violation of the College's Alcohol Policy (illegal use, misuse) will be handled through the Office of Judicial Affairs and will result in sanctions which may include fines, mandatory participation in alcohol education classes, community work projects, probation, and/or suspension from the residence halls.
