Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If there’s one thing for students to be wary of at NAU, it’s definitely the infamous “Minor in Consumption.” If you’re 20 years old or younger, be very careful about drinking on campus. The vast majority of residence halls are considered “dry,” or free from any kind of alcohol, regardless of a student’s age. These halls all enforce a no-tolerance policy, and if a student is found to be underage, the NAUPD is sometimes contacted. Otherwise, punishments include mandatory alcohol awareness classes and being kicked off campus housing. Off campus, the police seem to be a bit more laid-back. Parties are sometimes broken up, but more often than not, officers understand that students are having a good time and will issue a warning. The rule of thumb in all cases seems to be that if you are respectful and smart, people will leave you alone. Other than alcohol, there aren’t really any major areas of enforcement. Students and campus police get along just fine, and most people feel very safe. However, Parking Services, the on-campus parking regulators, are tighter than a pair of pants on Rush Limbaugh. Strictness on the mountain campus boils down to a lot of alcohol and a lot of parking tickets, but everything else is pretty relaxed.

NAU Policies

NAU has very specific policies about rallies, booths etc. However, they are willing to allow every kind of rally, booth etc., as long as it is per the guidelines. Like you cannot sell food inside or right outside of the union. Another one is that politically affiliated clubs may not use the union to have a booth. They may use other parts of campus. The policies are easy to follow, but must be followed at all times to maintain harmony.

Sometimes Unforgiving

When it comes it enforcing polices, the first time offense is usually just a warning. I am not completely sure what happens afterwards, but there are times when the staff can be unforgiving.

Punishments Are Reasonable

I believe that the policies are the school are reasonable. If students can not behave and follow the law than they should get punished for their actions. If there was no punishment than the students would not learn from their mistakes as much.
