Is Concordia a Dry Campus?

Yes, Concordia University is a dry campus. This means that the possession, storage, and consumption of alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited for all students on campus, regardless of their age.

Understanding Concordia's Alcohol Policy

Concordia University maintains a clear and consistent policy regarding alcohol on its campus to foster a safe and responsible environment for all students. A "dry campus" policy ensures that alcohol is not permitted within university premises, including residence halls, academic buildings, and common areas.

Key aspects of Concordia's alcohol policy for students include:

• No Possession: Students are not allowed to have alcoholic beverages in their possession while on campus.
• No Storage: Storing alcohol in dorm rooms or any other on-campus facility is strictly forbidden.
• No Consumption: Drinking alcoholic beverages on university grounds is prohibited for all students.
• Universal Application: These rules apply to all students, irrespective of whether they have reached the legal drinking age of twenty-one.

The university emphasizes that while the choice not to drink is entirely acceptable and made by many students, particularly those who are underage or simply prefer not to, the choice to consume alcohol off-campus carries the obligation to do so responsibly. The focus on campus is on creating an environment where academic success and personal growth can thrive without the presence of alcohol.
