Alcohol and Drug Use

Alcohol is permitted on campus with the permission of the Dean of Student Affairs (DSA). If alcohol is to be sold on campus, the DSA must first grant permission. A license must then be obtained from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Restrictions stipulated by the TABC must be strictly followed. No inebriated persons will be served alcohol in any case. No under-aged persons will be served alcohol. Organizations that violate rules will jeopardize their privilege to serve alcohol at future functions and could face other disciplinary actions as outlined in this document.

Further prohibitions include:

  • No organization will require or encourage “drinking athleticism” as part of initiation, ritual or custom.
  • Drinking games are prohibited.
  • These prohibitions are not exhaustive. Responsible use of alcohol is the only tolerated use.

As stated in the Student Code of Conduct, “The use, sale or possession on College premises of substances that are prohibited by local or federal law” constitutes a violation of the Students’ Code of Conduct. Violation renders the student subject to suspension or permanent dismissal. If you or someone you know may have a substance abuse problem, please contact the Dean of Student Affairs.
