[USAO-Robertson] Spring Break-Housing Alcohol and Drug Policy

[USAO Housing]

Good morning,

We hope everyone is having a fun Spring Break, but we want to remind everyone that parties involving alcohol are not allowed in campus housing. Should security notify housing staff of an ongoing party, Chickasha police will be called. Please be aware of our alcohol and drug policy, which you can find below.

Alcohol & Drug Policy
Illegal use of drugs and alcohol is in direct violation of local, state, and federal laws, as well as University policies included in this handbook and the Student Code of Conduct. University policy strictly prohibits the illegal use, possession, manufacture, and dispensing or distribution of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances in the workplace, on its premises, or as part of any University-sponsored activities.

Following is the set of rules that comprise USAO's alcohol policy:

  *   Residents and their guests who are under the age of 21 may not possess or consume alcohol.
  *    No resident or their guests, regardless of age, may possess or consume hard alcohol in the residence halls. Hard alcohol is defined as alcohol that is equal or greater than 15 percent alcohol by volume or 30 proof.
  *    Residents of the age of 21 or older are not permitted to consume alcohol in the presence of those under 21.
  *    It is a violation if any resident to provide alcohol to any under the age of 21.
  *    It is a violation to provide alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated, regardless of their age.
  *    It is a violation to be publicly intoxicated in the residence halls. Students 21 or over who are disruptive because of the use of alcohol may be considered in violation of this policy.
  *   Open containers of alcohol are not permitted in public or common areas, either inside or outside of the residential buildings. Common areas include but are not limited to: outside entry or adjacent sidewalk areas, all lounges, Lawson Clubhouse, the Lawson pool, community kitchens, recreation rooms, entertainment areas, hallways, lobby restrooms, stairways, fire exits, and laundry rooms.
  *   Residents' entry doors must remain closed while alcohol is being consumed.
  *    Any activities that induce, encourage, or result in the rapid consumption of alcohol are prohibited. Items used for drinking games or other activities that encourage the excessive or rapid consumption of alcohol (e.g. keg, beer pong tables, beer bongs, funnels, etc.) are prohibited.


University officials will ask individuals who violate the alcohol policy to dispose of all alcohol in their possession. If residents violate the alcohol policy, residents may be referred for disciplinary action. University officials have discretion to call the police.
