Dear Students,
As we prepare to cheer on the Bison this weekend, I would like to remind you of the policies and enforcement that are in place to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and our community.
It has been brought to my attention that several students were issued citations for Minor in Possession during the last home football game. As a reminder, the NDSU Football Tailgating Policy clearly states that “Under no circumstances shall persons under 21 years of age have possession of alcoholic beverages in the tailgating areas. Persons under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.” In addition, tailgating is allowed in all FargoDome parking lots, however, consumption of alcohol by those over the age of 21 is only allowed in lots E and F. Alcohol is prohibited in all other lots.
A complete listing of tailgating rules can be found at http://www.gobison.com/ViewArticle.d...ATCLID=1264858
Fargo Police officers monitor the parking lots to ensure that all rules are being followed and will issue citations for violations of law. In addition, please know that violations of the Code of Student Behavior http://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/studen...tudentCode.pdf that occur during tailgating will be subject to University conduct action..
I encourage you to check out the many activities that are planned by students for students. On Saturday night from 9:30 pm to 1:00 am Campus Attractions is holding an Indoor/Drive-In Movie Extravaganza in the Memorial Union Great Plains Room. Check out the Campus Attractions calendar of events at https://orgsync.com/25774/calendar
NDSU does enforce policy and law on a regular and consistent basis in our efforts to provide a safe and supportive community where learning can take place.
Best of luck throughout the semester!
Sincerely,
((I had no idea you had to be 21 to be in the tailgate lot))
