Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general student view on campus strictness is that, unless you do something very stupid, you are not likely to get in trouble. Resident advisors in residence halls tend to ignore small, quiet parties, and underage drinking is generally ignored, as long as it happens in private. Campus Security is equally lax, unless you’re violent or enjoy breaking windows. Basically, as long as you can have fun in public without hurting others or vandalizing (or being naked), you’ll probably stay out of trouble.

The school’s policy is to handle alcohol abuse and drug use on a case-by-case basis, so there is no zero-tolerance policy in place on campus. President Richard Celeste has stressed what he labels an “alcohol and drug problem” on campus, but policies, if anything, have recently become more lax. The generally liberal atmosphere assures that CC will never be home to the type of Draconian policies that have become popular on the campuses of many state universities. In the end, Colorado College stresses the importance of personal growth and responsible decision-making. Students are treated like adults and expected to behave as such.

CC Strictness

CC is a great place and it is not very strict. They do have a new COP (Newton) on campus this year, but he is chill. He is honest and tells you how it is. He only gives tickets to students who are out of control or lie. I have found that if you are honest and respectful with him he will be the same back. Be respectful and you should be Golden?

Administration Is Not the Police

CC has what the administration itself refers to as a "wet-campus". They won't generally get underage drinkers in trouble unless a serious problem arises, and this really is for the best. It allows students to let someone know if there is a serious problem. The same goes for weed on campus - it's best if you don't advertise that you're doing it but the punishment for getting caught the first time with it is only a fine. CC supports having the Colorado Springs Police patrol the area but they only break up house parties when they get too loud and will occasionally ticket people if they are walking around with open containers. Overall, CC administration only intervenes if they fear for someone's health or safety.

Lax

Campus strictness at CC is pretty lax and understanding, but they have legitimate rules and punishments when things go wrong. Drinking is allowed on campus and punishments with drinking and smoking can usually be avoided if one is smart and savvy.

Visitation Policies

CC students are not restricted in the number of hours a guest may stay, but guests must stay only a short period of time and may not impose to the point where they could be paying rent.

Did You Know? Students are required to sign an "Honor Code" on all exams and papers. Breaches of the Honor Code are taken extremely seriously. Attendance is also taken seriously; the block plan doesn't allow for any room in skipping out on classes, and professors will probably contact you if you miss a couple of days, or they'll simply adjust your grade accordingly.
