Campus Regulations
There are rules that every person at Miami needs to live by:
1. It is illegal to purchase or drink alcohol until a person is 21 years old. In addition, you may not buy drinks for others under 21. There are serious penalties if underage students are caught with alcohol. If you have two serious or three minor alcohol infractions, you could be suspended and asked to leave Miami University.
2. Smoking is prohibited everywhere on campus and in public places such as restaurants, airports, etc. in the United States. You could be fined for smoking anywhere on the Miami campus, indoors or outdoors, so you may want to consider quitting smoking now if you are a smoker.
3. Although it is legal to own a weapon in the United States with the right permits, weapons are not allowed on campus. Weapons include firearms, knives, fireworks, pellet guns, BB guns, paintball guns, etc.
There are other rules that you will learn during orientation, but these are three of the most important rules for students coming from outside the U.S. to know.
