Alcohol and Other Drugs

At Illinois State University your academic success and well-being is our priority! Our programming and activities allow you to make decisions about alcohol and other drug use that will keep yourself, your family and friends, and the University at a reduced risk from harm. Making sound decisions about your health and well-being will also allow you to achieve your goal of successfully completing your education at Illinois State University.

The University supports these messages:

• We want our students to be safe and healthy.
• We want our students to make informed decisions.
• The University Alcohol Policy and Code of Student Conduct will be upheld.
• ISU students are held accountable for their behavior on and off-campus.

Familiarizing yourself with University expectations builds knowledge and awareness further supporting informed and safer decision making. If you are a student who chooses to be substance free or is in recovery from alcohol or other drugs, you may be interested in Recovery for Redbirds, an RSO supporting ISU students.
