Substance Free Housing
SUNY Oswego offers substance-free housing for students who are interested in and agree to remain drug, smoke, and alcohol free. Substance-Free housing is designed to support students with similar interests, goals, and lifestyles in a common living environment. Substance-free housing will be located in Seneca Hall on the first floor for upper-division students. First-Year students interested in Substance-Free housing will be located on the first floor of Oneida Hall.
Regardless of the reason(s) for choosing to live in Substance-Free Housing, all residents of this community agree to hold each other accountable to the following:
- Students will not possess or consume alcohol, tobacco and/or and other drugs, which are prohibited by state law and/or SUNY Oswego policy (i.e., use of marijuana, misuse and/or abuse of prescription drugs, etc.) in the living environment regardless of age.
- Students will not return to the Substance-Free living environment in an intoxicated and/or disruptive state.
- Students will not negatively impact the living community through the decision to use and/or have contact with any substances beyond the residence hall. For example, a resident in this area who has either smoked or been in a smoking environment is obligated to not bring this smell back to the Substance-Free section.
- Students will not invite guests to this area who are under the influence of any of the above substances prior to entering the Substance-Free living environment. Students must assume responsibility for all actions of their guests.
