- Campus Strictness

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus Police tend to have a relaxed reign over the student population. As a result, there isn’t a sense of strictness on campus. Bar and house parties are the most common places police will be interacting with students. Campus Police will come down on underage drinking and the use of fake IDs. Apart from that, though, students feel free and able to do what they choose.

As long as you use some amount of common sense or discretion, you really won’t have any problems with Campus Police or strictness. However, those who decide to drink underage at a loud party will run the chance of getting busted and then fined. Similarly, if you’re caught using a fake ID, consequences await you. In terms of academics, the campus is rigid. They follow the ‘zero tolerance’ rule that only allows you one act of academic dishonesty. After being caught, you are expelled, and the offense stays on your academic record. Weigh every option and the potential consequences before deciding to do something potentially illegal.

Just Right

The UW Police is there when you need them, especially when things have gotten way out of hand. But they are not too strict about house parties on normal weekends. During Halloween weekend though, they are there in full force.

Not Strict at All

As long as you're not disturbing others, it's not their problem. Be responsible, make good choices, and the school/police will give you the benefit of the doubt
