If all roommates are of legal drinking age: Including empty alcohol boxes, bottles, or cans and bottle caps.

Empty alcohol containers may not be possessed by underage residents.

If all residents of a room are UNDER the legal drinking age, NO alcohol is allowed in the room/suite, even by guests who meet the legal age requirement.

If you AND your roommate/s are under legal drinking age: UW-Whitewater permits the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in University Residence Hall rooms by residents and their guests who are of legal drinking age within the following guidelines: Loud or disruptive behavior, interference with cleanliness of the residence halls, or inappropriate drinking habits which are injurious to the health or education of an individual or those around them are reasons for disciplinary action by the University. It is expected that alcoholic beverages will be used responsibly, within legal guidelines, and in moderation to ensure other residents right to privacy, sleep, and study within their own rooms. The alcohol policy has been developed according to state laws and UW System Board of Regents guidelines. These policies, together with those mandated by the University and state/federal laws, constitute the expectations of the residence hall community.

University Housing has the responsibility for developing and enforcing policies in the residence halls and works with the Residence Hall Association (RHA) to establish these policies. A community of 4,000 students requires some guidelines that will assure a health living environment where rights will not be infringed upon. Both the University and University Housing have some expectations about student behavior in terms of how they manage their own lives and how they interact with other members of the community. Violations of University Housing and University Policies can be confronted and documented by staff and fellow residents both inside and outside the residential facilities.Īn important part of residence hall living is becoming part of a large community. Residents are also expected to play an active role in enforcing community standards for behavior by confronting others who are violating Residence Hall policies and reporting any actions that are not in keeping with acceptable standards of student behavior. As a member of the UW-Whitewater community, each student is responsible for knowing and abiding by the policies of the residence hall system.
