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.

Tolerant Atmosphere With Reasonable Expectations

Dorm visiting hours are enforced, but punishment for violations is not overly harsh. Most RAs are understanding and friendly.

East Carolina Strictness

This school is known as the party school of the state and mainly because of a active nightlife scene and lack of rules to prevent students from overindulging of "life". However, ECU does have a good policy within the school of people drinking in dorms or near the campus.

Nothing Is Strict.

I will say this campus has a zero drug policy and I totally agree with it. But they are a little more lenient towards the drinking.
