Colorado Mesa University expects all members of the university community to be responsible for their own behavior within the context of state and federal laws and university regulations.
Colorado Mesa University is dedicated to instilling positive change in students' lives. The university believes the misuse of alcohol and drugs is counterproductive to this goal and has established campus policies and programs, which support the following:
- Reduce risks by those who use misuse alcohol and/or drugs;
- Promote responsible use for those who occasionally drink alcohol or use.
