Parental Notification

In compliance with federal law, UW-Whitewater has instituted a policy of notifying the parents or legal guardian of a student under the age of 21 about a student's involvement in a policy violation involving alcohol or a controlled substance in the following situations:

  1. Medical attention to any person, including the student, was required as a result of the alcohol or drug-related behavior.
  2. The incident involved significant property damage.
  3. The student exhibited reckless disregard for personal safety and/or the safety of others while intoxicated or under the influence of a drug.
  4. A subsequent violation of university policy would likely result in cancellation of residence hall contract or suspension from the university.
  5. The incident involved sales of alcohol or a controlled substance.

If you have questions about this policy, please contact Mary Beth Mackin, Assistant Dean of Student Life, at 262-472-1533.
