A MESSAGE ABOUT ALCOHOL Your college experience will be defined by virtually limitless access to academic opportunities and resources. It will also be a time of vast freedom coupled with newfound responsibilities. With those responsibilities come obligations. Be aware that Duke has clear expectations in effect not only during New Student Orientation (NSO), but year-round. These expectations are enumerated in policies that flow from the philosophy of the Duke Community Standard, our honor code.

Regarding alcohol, it is illegal and against Duke policy to purchase, possess, consume, or distribute alcohol if you are under the age of 21, both on and off campus. Even if you are over 21, as a new student you are expected not to consume any alcohol during the entire week of NSO. Be aware that East Campus is an alcohol-free campus within and around the residence halls. Failure to follow these expectations may result in university disciplinary action and/or criminal citations. University disciplinary action may impact future opportunities for you, including study abroad, participation in DukeEngage, and your admission to graduate/professional degree programs. Further information about Duke’s Alcohol policy can be found at: http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/conduct

You will have the opportunity to discuss issues surrounding alcohol in detail during NSO. Please take this time to reflect on your values, the level of risk you are willing to assume, and your personal responsibility. Duke cares about your well-being and strives to enhance your health and safety not only during NSO but throughout your years on campus. The vast majority of Duke students make responsible and thoughtful decisions about alcohol—we hope you will, too. ORIENTATION WELCOME WEEK Schedule of Events Denotes mandatory orientation events.
