Alcohol
UIC supports the choice of students and employees who are 21 or
over to abstain from consuming alcoholic beverages or to consume
alcoholic beverages responsibly. UIC prohibits alcohol consumption
by minors and violators of this policy will be subjected to the
full penalties of the laws governing the state of Illinois. The
policy is designed to promote the positive, healthy use of alcoholic
beverages in a responsible manner. Students and employees must
ensure that their consumption of alcohol at university functions
and/or in residence halls will not create a hazard to themselves,
other students/staff/faculty, university property, the university's
reputation, or the public. The university permits the consumption
of alcoholic beverages at certain conventions, conferences, and
cultural and educational activities. The specific approval of
the chancellor is required on an event-by-event basis to sell
or serve alcoholic beverages.
Use of Alcoholic Beverages in Residence Halls
The possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in residence
halls is governed by regulations in the "Campus Housing Handbook."
The alcohol policy for the residence halls has been instituted
with the understanding that alcoholic beverages may be consumed
in accordance with Illinois state law by individuals in student
rooms. The university expects students who choose to consume alcoholic
beverages to drink sensibly and responsibly.
Illegal Drugs
The unlawful or unauthorized possession, use, distribution, dispensation,
sale, or manufacture of controlled substances is prohibited on
university premises while conducting university business.
Smoking
UIC is committed to creating and maintaining a healthy, productive
environment for its students, faculty, and staff. Compelling evidence
now exists that links long-term exposure to secondhand smoke with
increased risks for nonsmokers. UIC is a smoke-free environment.
- Smoking is prohibited in all indoor locations, entry areas
inside and within close proximity outside of buildings, and
outdoor eating locations designated by the chancellor. Some
residence hall areas may be designated smoking permitted.
- Smoking is prohibited in UIC owned or leased vehicles.
