| 1.2 Campus underage drinking and alcohol abuse is a significant national problem resulting in consequences such as assaultive and self-destructive behavior, property damage, and loss of life. Appalachian State University (the "University") is concerned about the harmful effects of illegal and abusive alcohol practices on our campus and in the Boone community. The University is committed to establishing rules and regulations related to alcohol use and to providing appropriate prevention education and alternative activities for students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests. These actions represent a part of the University's comprehensive effort to maintain an environment that supports and encourages wellness, including appropriate decision-making about alcohol use.

|
| 1.3 The University also recognizes that many choose not to use alcohol for personal, medical, family, religious and other reasons. These people have the right to live, work and learn in an environment that respects and supports abstinence. This document articulates the policies and procedures governing the use or possession of alcohol at the University in order to assist faculty, staff, students, alumni, and guests in planning for and making intelligent, legal decisions regarding alcohol.

| 4.1.1 The University supports and complies with all state and federal laws that pertain to the use of alcohol. Under University policy, it is illegal for any person under the age of 21 to possess or consume alcoholic beverages, or for any person to provide alcohol to an intoxicated person or to anyone under the legal drinking age. Campus rules and regulations, while being consistent with local, state and federal laws, reflect the educational mission of the University. Notwithstanding the foregoing, North Carolina law permits licensed and ABC Permit holders to employ persons eighteen (18) years or older to prepare, serve, dispense or sell any alcoholic beverages, including mixed beverages pursuant to their employment duties [https://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter_95/GS_95-25.5.html N.C.G.S. § 95-25.5(j)(2))].
| | Motor homes will not be allowed to park in campus parking lots the night before a game. |
|
| |
|
| 4.1.2 Persons who provide alcoholic beverages to anyone who is not of legal drinking age are in violation of North Carolina law and University policies and may be subject to both criminal prosecution and University disciplinary action. They may also be liable for personal injuries or property damages resulting from acts committed by intoxicated persons, whether underage or otherwise.

|
| |
|
| 4.1.3 Members of the University community who choose to drink will be held responsible for their behavior while under the influence of alcohol. Loss of control due to intoxication in no way excuses or justifies violation of state law, University regulations, or the rights of others. See Policy 401.3 Student Abuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs and Policy 602.3 Employee Abuse of Alcohol and Other Drugs in the University Policy Manual and information provided by the Office of Student Conduct.
| | Tailgating will not be permitted during the event. |

The Chancellor or the Chancellor’s designee shall pre-approve any event held on campus and establish procedures for approval of alcoholic beverage service, provided, that use of the facility must be approved and scheduled prior to approval of alcohol use for a specific event. The Approval shall be in the form of the “Request for Approval: Events Involving Possession or Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on Campus”, hereinafter “Request for Approval” (See Alcohol Permission Form).

| | (Facility Use Policy, Section 11-Solicitation and Solicitors, Resource Manual) |
|
| |
|
| 4.10.5 When advertising events where alcohol will be consumed, only the theme or the purpose of the event is to be emphasized. While the availability of alcoholic beverages at the event may be stated, it is not to be emphasized.

| | Only Appalachian State University Athletics or their designated representatives will be allowed to sell merchandise at athletics events. |
