Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

ECU has an extensive list of violations for which students may be fined, but in general, ECU is casual, except in the cases of a few serious offenses. The Student Code of Conduct, called the Cluebook, can be found online at www.ecu.edu/studenthandbook. Of course it is full of legal jargon, but students should scan it, because ignorance and inebriation are not excuses for breaking the rules. Students used to drink underage and smoke pot without much discretion in the dorms, but with the zero-tolerance policy, in addition to legal action, students are required to leave campus housing if they are caught. Some students used to joke about the horrors of meeting with the “mean dean” about drug law, liquor law, and honor code violations. Lately, though, the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities has focused on educating students about the impact their actions could have on their academic careers and criminal records rather than concentrating on punishment of bad behavior. Parking and Transportation officers look for ticketing opportunities, but ECU Police, RAs, and counselors have better things to do, like protecting students from themselves and others. Of course, the best way to not get caught is to be quiet. If students want to get caught, they should be loud and stupid when breaking rules.

The ALE is always on the prowl on the weekends so be careful if your underage drinking because they will get you!

No Pressure

The police are not out to get you. Be smart about what your doing and always respect the men in blue. The rules are clearly laid out and if you don't follow them than there will be consequences.

Campus Is Pretty Strict

Simply put, do NOT have illegal substances in your possession on campus. You should not have weapons or anything either, because these are two ways to get kicked out of campus housing and maybe even the school. If you're going to drink, just go downtown. It is close and there's more freedom.
