Alcohol policy
In implementing Wheaton's Alcohol Policy, the college considers both the welfare of its students and compliance with state and local laws to be of central importance. The policy of the college is to help anyone who is seeking assistance with an alcohol or other drug problem. Anyone seeking assistance, advice or information may approach the Student Life staff, Public Safety Department, Counseling Services, Health Services, the Dean of Students Office or existing peer support groups without fear of disciplinary action by the college. The intent of the policy is to establish an environment in which students of legal drinking age (21) who choose to drink alcohol do so in moderation and those who choose to abstain from drinking do so without penalty or pressure from their peers. In compliance with state law, the policy prohibits underage students from keeping, consuming or transporting alcoholic beverages and seeks to discourage and prevent the irresponsible use and abuse of alcohol by students of any age.
