FSU Alcohol Policy: Extracted Points
Alcohol will be permitted at Florida State University
only in those settings which:
- Comply with state and federal laws, municipal
county ordinances, and this policy;
- Present minimum low health and safety risks; and
- In no way inhibit the full participation of those
who choose not to drink alcohol.
No individual under the legal drinking age (minimum
of 21 years of age) may serve, sell, consume or possess alcohol
on university properties, except to the extent allowed by law within
licensed premises or designated areas of the university.
No individual may serve or otherwise provide alcohol
to persons under the legal drinking age.
The Sale of Alcohol:
The
sale of alcohol on campus must be approved by the President or
his or her designee. Although the President or his designee may
approve the sale of alcohol on campus, only the Division of Alcoholic
Beverages and Tobacco can issue the permit required to sell alcohol
in the State of Florida.
Promotional Guidelines:
The
on-campus promotion of activities or events shall not advertise
alcohol or sponsorship by alcohol marketers without prior written
approval of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Laws and Regulations:
All
members of the campus community (students, faculty, staff, alumni,
and guests) must adhere to all applicable state and local laws
and university regulations related to the sale and use of alcohol.
Any organization found not to be in compliance with
the university alcohol policy at their event may be subject to
university disciplinary action and may forfeit its right to any
fee support from the university.
Parent
Notification Policy
In the fall of 2000, the Board of Regents of the
State University System of Florida instructed each University to
include provisions
for parent notification
of dependent students under the age of 21 if the student is found to be in
violation of University policies regarding alcohol and other drugs. The purpose
of the Parent Notification Policy at the Florida State University is to comply
with the Board of Regents’ instructions and to promote the health and
well being of students. This policy will provide parents an opportunity to
partner with their student and the University to address behaviors that could
place students at risk of harming themselves or others.
Florida State University will notify parents or guardians
of dependent students, defined in F.S. 228.093, when the student
is found responsible for violating University alcohol or other
drug policies:
When is Parent Notification
necessary?
Parents of Florida State University students will
be immediately notified of a student's involvement with alcohol
and other drug violations under the following
circumstances:
- A student has been transported to the hospital
or required residence hall staff assistance due to their consumption
of alcohol and/or other drugs.
- A student under the age of 18 is allegedly involved
in an alcohol or other drug incident.
What is the "Parent
Notification Letter"?
In situations where students (18 or older) have been
found responsible for a violation of the Florida State University
alcohol or other drug policy, students
will be required to complete an action statement explaining the nature of
the situation and circumstances that led to the violation. This
statement will
be maintained in the student's disciplinary file for a period of 12 months.
If the student is found responsible for a subsequent violation of the alcohol
and other drug policy, a copy of this statement will be sent home along with
official notification of the University.
