Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The DU “police” are not to be feared. Usually, offenses don’t end up tarnishing your school record or emptying your wallet. You might get a few slaps on the hand, unless the offense is something more serious, such as driving drunk or selling drugs on campus. RAs do their best to keep things quiet and relatively under control in the dorms, and as long as you don’t blare your music too loud or get sloshed in your room, most likely you won’t incur any serious run-ins.

Probably the biggest no-no on DU’s campus is drinking in the dorms, considering DU markets itself as a dry campus. In their job description, RAs are required to inform the administration of any and all names of students caught drinking or doing drugs in the dorms, so be careful. Although you probably won’t get suspended or expelled on the first account, mounting charges could equate to more serious penalties.

Campus Is Mildly Strict

When severe punishments are necessary the university takes action. When small misdemeanors happen they are a little more laid back. They believe in Good Samaritan Law. The authorities don't go around looking to get kids in trouble. Only when it is a noticeable offence and needs to be handled.

Campus Safety Is Ridiculous

Campus safety is awful!! They are more concerned with catching underage drinking than with actually protecting the students. They are ridiculously strict on violations including drinking, drugs, and parking violations!

Decent Policies

DU is a pretty laid back school. Campus safety and the RAs report all dug use but alcohol is more of a don't see, don't care policy. RAs will look the other way so long as it isn't breaking noise violations or extremely obvious. This also depends on who your RA is, some are much more leniant. Academically this school is OBESSED with the honor code. In some classes you even have to sign at sheet at the end of each test stating that you did not cheat.
