A student must maintain a minimum Grade Point Average to remain in school. And, since undergraduate academic achievement directly influences career options, it is critical to guard against things that could jeopardize a student's future. Alcohol is a particular danger for new college students. When students accept admission offers, they also agree to the institution's rules and code of conduct. Parents can encourage students to assert their right to safe college environments and to advocate for measures that address campus-related alcohol abuse and its consequences.
Parental support helps reinforce personal values, rules and laws.
We hope the following information will help you. Please remind your students that they are part of a large, sensible majority that wants something done about the misuse of alcohol by a few and the numerous associated secondhand consequences that negatively effect many collegians. Alcohol abuse in college is risky business. Things are different today than they were in your generation. Ohio's colleges support all federal, state and local laws regarding the use of alcohol.
