Policy #81
WCU General Campus Policy For Alcoholic Beverages
SCOPE: This policy statement describes: (1) where alcoholic beverages may be possessed on campus (2) the type of alcoholic beverages that are allowed on campus and (3) University requirements for service of alcoholic beverages on campus. Those administrative units responsible for areas where alcoholic beverages may be consumed are required in some cases and allowed in other cases to develop their own procedures, not to conflict with this policy, which provide additional oversight as necessary.
Key Points
U.C. Club Illusions. Only malt beverages and unfortified wine may be consumed at U.C. Club Illusions’ events. Consumption must be in accordance with the Club Illusions’ rules and procedures;

Purpose: The rationale behind the development of a BYOB policy for the University Center Illusions Club is:
4. To provide a model for how to implement a responsible social event at which alcoholic beverages are present and to assist in changing the campus “social norm”
6. To empower our students to develop, implement, and monitor a successful program to serve the social needs of our students
A. Amounts and Types of Alcoholic Beverages
The Amount of alcoholic beverage a person may bring to a BYOB event is four 12 oz. cans of beer or malt beverage or four 10 oz. containers of wine cooler.
Dispensing Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages
All beverages at BYOB events must be dispensed by approved persons called “servers” that are trained by a TIPS certified trainer and are at least 18 years of age. The servers are employees of the University Center unless otherwise approved by the Director of the University Center.
G. BYOB Event Registration
Only University organizations may register for and sponsor a BYOB event. For the purpose of this policy, the term “University organizations” includes registered student organizations, university departments or offices, or any other unit of Western Carolina University. Events must be registered at the University Center Administrative Offices and must be approved by the University Center Director or his designee.
