ALCOHOL POLICY: There are two types of alcohol policies. If you are not sure as to which policy applies to your building, contact your Resident Manager immediately. The two types of alcohol policies are:

  1. Restrictive: This policy is for complexes that do allow alcohol and the residents are of proper/legal drinking age. You are not allowed to have kegs or large quantities of alcohol in your apartment or on the premises. Residents are also not allowed to have a "surplus" of empty alcohol containers. Violations of this policy may result in an eviction.
  2. No Alcohol Policy: This policy means that there is NO alcohol allowed on the grounds or in the apartment complex. This includes empty alcohol containers, bottles, cartons, cans, etc. These items are not allowed on the premises at all.

The "No Alcohol Policy" is present at the Community & Technical College Housing buildings. The owners of the complex have contracted with the State of Minnesota to build the student rental apartments. This policy is actively in effect for the entire building whether or not the resident is of legal drinking age. The resident is also responsible for violations by roommates, family or visitors and may be evicted for such violations. Although there is a "No Alcohol Policy" at such complexes, we cannot guarantee there will not be such activities. The Resident Managers will be enforcing the policy and precautionary measures will be taken to assist in that enforcement.

Violation of the alcohol policy on a first offense will include, but are not limited to, one or more of the actions noted below. The offender will be evicted for any subsequent offenses. In addition, any convictions for alcohol-related crimes such as underage consumption may result in an immediate eviction.

  1. Immediate Confiscation of the Product or Container.
  2. Written Warning for the Record.
  3. Notification of Resident's Parents.
  4. Notification of the School Administration.
  5. Notification of the Law Enforcement Officials.
  6. Eviction from the Premises.

Management reserves the right to assess a reasonable fine and/or evict from the premises and/or take any other course of action deemed necessary. Students must realize that one or all of the above actions may be taken when a violation is discovered. Please keep mind that this policy will help ensure a quieter and better collegiate atmosphere for you and your fellow residents.
