The sale or availability of alcoholic beverages at a student organized event cannot be advertised. Public notice of parties on bulletin boards or by other means is prohibited. Events with alcohol must include a comparable non-alcoholic beverage and an adequate amount of food that must last the duration of the event. The people in and around the town of Saint Joseph are our neighbors and student alcohol choices are of concern to those who live around us. Students who reside off-campus houses will be subject to prosecution by local law enforcement for serving alcohol to underage people.
All students have the opportunity for growth and development.
A student violation of policy allows for reflection, better choices and additional personal responsibility. Continued policy violation will lead the community to confront the student with his or her impact on the community and provides sanctions, evaluation, and treatment options for their continued growth and development. Students are expected to confront peers who are irresponsible in their use of alcohol. Within the residence areas students are referred to their home residence staff for follow-up. The services of the counseling center are free, confidential, and can assist you in talking about issues, receiving treatment or support.
