Approval to Use Alcohol
Approval to use alcohol at an event on University property or at a University function involving University of Virginia students requires approval a minimum of one week in advance in writing from the Vice President for Student Affairs. Please submit the Use for Alcohol Request Form to request approval.
CASE Wristband Policy
- CASE provides disposable plastic wristbands to U.Va. student organizations and University departments for the purpose of identifying event patrons who are of legal age to consume alcohol.
- Wristbands are not provided for events where alcohol is not served or events where only individuals who are of the legal age to drink are admitted. The wristbands are to be used to differentiate between patrons who are of legal age versus those who are not.
- Each U.Va. student organization or University department may request up to 500 free wristbands per academic year (June 1 – May 31).
- After a U.Va. student organization or University department exceeds the annual 500 wristband limit, the group may choose to purchase wristbands at a recovery charge of $0.08 per wristband. Purchases must be made in groups of ten wristbands.
Should you have any questions regarding the CASE wristband policy, or if you would like to request wristbands and schedule a time for pickup, please contact CASE at 924-5276 or case@virginia.edu.
