Community Behavioral Standards (CBS)

At the beginning of the fall semester, the residents of each hall meet to determine the guidelines for living together in community. The process, called Community Behavioral Standards (CBS), is led by the student senators from each of the halls. Students discuss and decide what the guidelines in their residence hall will be for visitation and quiet hours, as well as for the use, cleaning and maintenance of their community areas, including the lounges, kitchen, laundry facilities and study rooms. The members of the community review and may revise their CBS policies during the year.

CBS Addendum

The ASWU dorm senators and student-life staff have set these policies and consequences. They have been set in place in order to give the residents of Whitworth University a safe living environment. While alcohol is never allowed on campus, possession of empty alcohol containers is permissible in limited numbers.

  1. Alcohol containers: No one under the age of 21 will be allowed to have any sort of alcohol container. Those over 21 may have no more than five empty containers.

    Consequences: Warning on first occasion. After warning, $5 fine per container. Storage is available for those rare occasions when someone has a unique bottle or container that has sentimental value.

  2. Public drunkenness: Public drunkenness is defined as being on campus under the influence of alcohol and engaging in behavior that is offensive or that causes a resident to complain.

    Consequence: On first violation, the student is to be responsible for any mess s/he has made and to serve three hours of community service as determined by the resident director. A second offense will result in five hours of community service. The third violation will result in the student being referred to the counseling center for evaluation and may result in additional sanctions.
