St. Patrick鈥檚 Day can be a time of festivities and celebration. Please take a moment to review some safety and enforcement tips.
- Both CU and Boulder Police plan to step up enforcement during this time. This involves the number of officers as well as the frequency of patrol. So be smart, whether you are on campus or in the city.
- One of the most common听offenses over the St. Patrick's Day weekend is听minor in possession of alcohol and/or marijuana. You must be 21 to possess or consume听alcohol or recreational marijuana. Also, possession could mean that you have ingested the marijuana or alcohol.
- . If you witness someone who is in a potentially dangerous situation, call 911 for help. If needed, try to subtly remove that person from the situation.
- If you are of age and plan to drink, avoid mixing alcohol with other substances (like prescription drugs and marijuana) and drink plenty of water.
If you plan to host an off-campus party, please听keep听your听community听in听mind听and听consider听the听following听tips:
- Register听your party with Off-Campus Housing &听Neighborhood Relations by听Thursday, March 16听at 5 p.m. in UMC 313.

- Keep your guests inside the house. Any noise heard from 100 ft. away can result in an unreasonable noise ticket which can cost up to $1,000 per person on the lease. Noise travels easily, especially amplified music. If you decide to be outside, the backyard may be best for large groups and outside activities, but keep the speakers inside.
- Kegs听and听red听cups often contribute to both the noise and trash-related impact of your gathering on your neighborhood area. Keep听kegs and any alcoholic beverages inside听the听house听and听make听sure听your听guests are of legal age, leave quietly and without open containers.
- Part of being a responsible host is cleaning up after yourself. Put cups or other disposable items in trash bags and proper trash or recycling receptacles.听Do you need trash bags? Stop by the Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood听Relations office in UMC 313 to pickup free trash bags.
