Substance-Free housing is a Living-Learning Community sponsored by University Housing and Residence Life and provides a living opportunity for both incoming first-year and returning students. 
Students in this Living-Learning Community must commit that they (and their guests) will not possess or consume alcoholic beverages, smoking or tobacco products, or use illegal substances in the residence hall. University Housing and Residence Life strongly enforces expectations that all residence halls comply with all federal, state and University regulations related to the use or possession of alcohol and other drugs. Substance-Free rooms offer an additional measure of support for those who choose to live a lifestyle free of substances including but not limited to alcohol, cigarettes and other smoking materials as well as all illicit drugs. Substance-Free residents of the University are expected to adhere to this policy inside residence halls.
