Liquor
Permit form
Policy
The University administers the
consumption of liquor on campus under the terms of the Liquor
Licensing Act and cooperates with the Liquor Licensing Division
in issuing liquor permits and monitoring functions on campus
where liquor is consumed.
University alcohol policy
covers all University sites and the six colleges of residence. It
is not lawful to sell liquor at a University college without the
appropriate liquor permit.
The University encourages a
responsible attitude towards the use of alcohol on campus and has
developed procedures in place to ensure :
-
that standards of behaviour on University sites are
consistent with the mission of the University
-
the effective management of social functions at the
University and in the colleges
-
the health and safety of staff, students, and visitors to
the University and colleges
Policy and Procedures for the
Consumption of Liquor on Campus are administered by the Security
and Parking section of Facilities Management.
Advertising of functions and
promotion of the sale of liquor
Advertising for functions should
:
-
not emphasise the availability of alcohol
-
not refer to the amount of alcohol available
-
not encourage the excessive consumption of alcohol
-
not encourage attendance at a function by advertising
alcohol at reduced prices
-
make equal reference to the availability of non-alcoholic
beverages
Advertising on campus of
functions to be held off-campus...
by external organisations in
hotels, clubs or campus must also comply with these
requirements.
The Manager, Security and Parking
will remove advertising that does not abide by the above
conditions and reserves the right to cancel a function if
the above conditions are not complied with.
The promotion of alcoholic
beverages on University sites requires the approval of the
Registrar. Promotion includes the provision of alcohol as well as
advertising material such as T-shirts, tents, sample bags,
flyers, other printed matter, etc. No promotional material
concerning consumption of liquor will be permitted in connection
with Student Orientation Week and related activities.

Bond
A bond may be required (at the
discretion of the Venues Officer or the Head of a College) for
functions where liquor will be served or sold and fifty or more
persons are expected to attend. A bond will not be required for
functions held on licensed premises.
Bond monies may be used for the
repair or cleaning of damaged University or college property,
which is clearly attributable to the function. Cleaning and
repair costs will be deducted from a bond where this has been
provided. Where a bond is not provided, an account for the damage
or cleaning will be sent to the organisers of the function.

obtained by the organisers and liquor is served to persons

A function may be closed if these requirements are not met.
Provision of food and
non-alcoholic beverages
It is desirable that food be
provided at all functions where liquor is being served or
sold.
Where liquor is being served or
sold, non-alcoholic beverages must be available at comparable
prices.

activity that encourages the excessive consumption of alcohol.
Competitions involving drinking alcohol are not permitted.
