Purpose
Rollins College fully upholds all federal, state and local statutes governing the illegal consumption of alcoholic beverages by underage persons. Moreover, Rollins disapproves of the abuse of alcoholic beverages. No person under the age of 21 years shall attempt to purchase, acquire, or possess an alcoholic beverage.
Evidence has shown that underage consumption of alcoholic beverages is prevalent on college/university campuses despite state laws and college/university rules and regulations. Due to the persistence of underage consumption of alcoholic beverages, Rollins policies and procedures seek to educate the campus community about alcohol and to regulate its use. This alcohol policy is intended to serve the following objectives:
1. To promote legal and responsible behavior and attitudes among all members of the College community
2. To create programs and services to educate students concerning the use and effects of alcoholic beverages in order to encourage responsible decision‐making
3. To aid individuals experiencing difficulties associated with the use of alcohol
