John Felice Rome Center (JFRC) Alcohol Policy
Italian law permits consumption of alcohol for those over age sixteen, students who study at the JFRC are able to consume alcohol. Students who choose to consume alcohol are expected to do so responsibly and with maturity, whether on or off-campus. If a student demonstrates a lack of control while under the influence of alcohol, JFRC staff reserves the right to address the student’s behavior in the interest of protecting the student from harm to self or others at any time on or off-campus.
Alcohol is permitted on-campus in the residence hall, but restricted to responsible private consumption in one’s room, including the Zone Hotel rooms. Students residing at the Zone Hotel should consider the hotel terrace a public space where consuming alcohol is not permitted, unless purchased at the hotel restaurant.
Designated areas on campus have been established for the purposes of special events where alcoholic beverages may be served. Permission must be secured from the Dean for JFRC Student Life before an event that involves alcohol can occur, and specific regulations must be followed. Admission to social events is restricted to the JFRC community and those guests approved by the Dean of JFRC Student Life.
The sale of alcoholic beverages by anyone anywhere on the JFRC campus is strictly prohibited. Non-alcoholic beverages and food must be available at all events where alcohol is served and should be featured at least as prominently as alcoholic beverages. The time during which alcohol may be served at an event may be limited at the discretion of the Dean of JFRC Student Life.
