Guidelines for the Use of Alcohol at University Student Events • Nova Southeastern University functions, which are student oriented, may serve only beer and wine. All requests for such events must be coordinated through NSU’s Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. • Entry fees may be charged, but this fee is only for admission to the event, not for the sale of beer or wine. • One-quarter hour before the approved ending time of the event, ticket sales will stop. • Any advertisements for the event (including leaflets, invitations, posters, letters, and all other forms of advertisements) cannot advertise alcohol. These advertisements must display the following information: Beverages will be available. Must have valid state-issued picture identification for verification of age. • An adequate amount of food and alternative beverages (such as water, juice, assorted sodas, coffee, and teas) must be available throughout the duration of the event. These will be provided at the cost of the organization holding the event. The amount of food and beverages appropriate for the size of the event will be determined when the request for the event is submitted for review/approval. • No organization or individual may purchase beer or wine for an event. No other alcohol is permitted. • A full-time university employee will be present during an event at which beer and wine are served. If the faculty adviser of the organization is not available, the organization must identify which other university employee will be attending the event. The organizational contact of the event must be present during the entire event as a point of contact for the university.
