Alcohol Paraphernalia and Empty Containers

Students may not possess or use “beer bongs,” “funnels” or other paraphernalia that can promote irresponsible consumption of alcohol.

Storage or display of bottles or cans in windows is prohibited for safety reasons. Students are prohibited from storing or possessing empty alcohol containers in rooms, suites or bathrooms. If empty alcohol containers are found in residence halls, staff members will assume that the residents of the room(s) or suite(s) and any students present in the space are, or were, in possession of alcohol and have a shared responsibility for the containers. All residents and involved students may be subject to disciplinary or judicial follow up, including fines.
