An enrolled student over 21 must serve as a host at these parties and the resident living in the housing unit must be identified. Event hosts must honor the responsibilities outlined in the University Housing Living Guide. Also, no units owned by residents under the age of 21 can register an event. If a student who is under 21 lives in a residence where a party is going on, it is their own responsibility, as well as the host's, to ensure they are not served.
Once the application is turned in, Housing will approve or deny the request and notify the hosts within 24 hours of the event. No more than two parties can occur in one apartment building or wing during a 24 hour period and no residence can have two parties within that same amount of time.
"We're teaching responsible alcohol behavior," Schultz said. "After a party is registered, a Hall or Community Director will meet with you and give guidelines on what you can and can not do, etc. We are trying to take a proactive, not a reactive, stance."
However, the Hall or Community Director only explains the regulation on the first party you register. Schultz said the number of infractions on the "Party Rule" is a mix.
"Some people do, some people don't," Schultz said. "People who do violate this rule face a disciplinary process. Housing will come up to the room and, if they do not respond and continue the violation, campus police will be called in."
