Students who will be hosting group events featuring alcohol must register those events with the university, and be properly trained to ensure that the events are safe, healthy, and enjoyable.
TIPS Training
Students attending in-person TIPS will learn how to make sound choices when faced with difficult decisions about alcohol use. In addition, students will learn the contract process for acquiring entertainment, caterers, security, tent rentals, seating, restroom facilities and other areas needed to produce a successful event. Host(s) only need to participate in the training once; however, hosts may be asked to participate in additional training following a violation of the social hosting process or alcohol policy.
