Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus police officers are licensed Texas police officers and, therefore, uphold both TCU policies and state law. Campus police don’t generally go around with the sole purpose of catching intoxicated students or underage drinkers, but they will regulate students who pose a threat to themselves or others. The campus police have a low tolerance for drug and alcohol violations, but they do not typically go out of their way to bust students.

While the line may be blurred with alcohol (no pun intended), campus police take drug violations very seriously. The minimum penalty for a first-time violation is disciplinary probation for a year and a mandatory drug-abuse education and/or treatment program. While many students know people who drink or smoke pot, most students do not feel pressured to do drugs, and it is not a big part of campus life.

TCU Strictness

I feel like its a little unbalance. For some people they have really harsh punishments and for others they just get a slap on the wrist. I guess it depends on the situation and circumstance. TCU has this cool group called the Peer Advisor Board. A group of students review disciplinary cases and help to decide what the punishment should be.

Strictness

The campus police can be very strict on parking and give out a lot of tickets. They take crime alerts very seriously to make sure that the campus is safe. The police offer rides and shuttles late and night so walking alone in the dark does not become an issue.

Rules are place for the safety of all the students. If a consequence from administration or campus police is given, it is almost always because the student didn't know their own boundaries with drinking or just plain stupidity. Campus police are too strict with parking.
