Student Policies:

Guidelines on Alcohol

The University will conform to all State and local laws controlling the sale and use of alcoholic beverages. It is illegal to sell, provide or serve beer, wine or liquor to anyone who is under the legal age (21). Servers of alcohol and sponsors of social events must be aware of and comply with all State statutes and with CASE policies and procedures.

Specific regulations apply to all events at which you are present, which may be obtained from the Director of Student Life and Multicultural Activities.

Smoking Policy

As a matter of public policy, the University is dedicated to providing a safe and healthful environment. In addition, the University has substantial commitments to health-related research and teaching. Thus, the Case Western Reserve University community has a particular obligation to be sensitive to health-protection issues.

Case Western Reserve University permits no smoking in its facilities, with the exception of residence hall rooms. Smoking is permitted in residence hall rooms only if it is acceptable to all of the assigned occupants. It is permissible to smoke on campus grounds; smokers are asked to use urns provided for ash and butt disposal and to respect the rights of non-smokers at public gatherings on the grounds.

Drug Policy

CASE has the responsibility to provide you, its employees and the public with the safest environment possible. The University also has an interest in promoting the highest standard of health and welfare among you, its staff and faculty. It is therefore the policy of Case Western Reserve University to discourage the use of controlled substances.

The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in and on property owned or operated by Case Western Reserve University.
