Events with alcohol must include a comparable non-alcoholic beverage and an adequate amount of food that must last the duration of the event. No social event shall include any form of drinking game or contest. The people in and around the town of St. Joseph are our neighbors and student alcohol choices are of concern to those who live around us. Students who reside in off-campus houses will be subject to prosecution by local law enforcement for serving alcohol to underage people. Posters or promotion of any bar or liquor establishment events that promote alcohol use are not allowed on campus.
All students have the opportunity for growth and development.
A student violation of policy allows for reflection, decision making 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. Alcohol, including containers, kegs, taps, and accessories, will be confiscated without return when a violation occurs. When an alcohol violation occurs within the residence areas, students are referred to their home residence staff for follow-up.
