Don't want your parents to know?
As is permitted by law, the Office of Community Standards makes a practice of contacting parents whenever students under the age of 21 are found responsible for an alcohol or other drug violation.
Hosting or attending events with alcohol? Know your responsibilities.
Along with every State and Federal law, the University has many alcohol policies (all found in the Student Handbook) to be aware of regarding what is and is not allowed.
Kegs or other large common source alcohol containers are not allowed on campus. If it's big enough to stand on, it's probably not allowed.
As the host of a party, YOU are 100% responsible for all of those in attendance. See the Illinois Social Host Law for detailed information of the law.
Additional information can be found on the Events and Alcohol page.
