As you enjoy Halloween festivities, do your part to uplift the safety and wellbeing of our campus community.

Help your fellow Jumbos

Jumbos look out for one another. If you or a friend need help, please call Tufts Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) for medical assistance and know that we will prioritize your health and safety. To help you do that without worrying about possible consequences, the Amnesty Through Responsible Action Policy waives disciplinary action for students who seek medical help for themselves or others. The Amnesty policy also applies to students reporting sexual misconduct.

Be conscientious in choosing a costume

If you choose to dress up, be mindful of the cultures and identities that are represented within our community. Make thoughtful costume choices to avoid causing unintended harm to the folks around you and disrespecting others.

Consent is an affirmative process

Tufts has an affirmative consent policy, which means students engaging in sexual interactions with others must give and receive affirmative consent for a sexual interaction to be consensual. The full sexual misconduct policy and procedures for adjudication are available online from the Office of Equal Opportunity.

Be safe, and if you're over 21, drink responsibly!

Tufts' Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy remains in place over Halloween as usual. Keep your safety and that of others in mind, and if you are over 21 and choose to drink, do so in moderation. It is much more challenging to make other responsible decisions while intoxicated.

Accessing the rooftop of a University building is strictly prohibited

Accessing rooftops and other restricted areas is dangerous and strictly prohibited. Public Safety will increase vigilance throughout campus during Halloween. Students who violate the Unauthorized Access Policy or other parts of the Student Code of Conduct will face disciplinary consequences.

Please celebrate Halloween responsibly and enjoy the holiday!
