Campus Parking
All student motor vehicles must be registered annually with the College and display a valid decal. Students are authorized to register only one vehicle at any one time; vehicles must be owned or leased by themselves, parents, legal guardians or spouse. Dates for the issuance of student decals will be posted. Minimum Documentation required is a valid registration, driver's license and College ID card. First-year students are not allowed to have cars on campus. To register your vehicle, please visit the
Camel Card Office located in the College Center at Crozier-Williams. Additional Parking Policies can be located online at

All people who bring vehicles to Connecticut College are advised that, while the College will make every effort to provide security, the College does not assume responsibility for vandalism or theft involving such vehicles.
Age of Majority
The age of majority in Connecticut is 18. Unless otherwise notified, the College will, however, continue to send parents or guardians major bills owed to the College. Grade reports are available to students online.
Alcohol
Federal, state and/or local laws govern the use, possession and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Students under the age of 21 may not possess or consume alcoholic beverages. Persons who are legally able to consume alcohol should understand that it is a violation of College policy and Connecticut state law to provide alcohol to persons under the legal age for alcohol consumption. Please consult the Student Handbook for the current policies regarding Alcohol and Social Functions/Private Parties at Connecticut College. Connecticut Statute is available for view online at

Drugs
The College’s drug policies are informed by federal, state, and local laws. The use, possession, or sale of illicit drugs or drug-related paraphernalia is strictly prohibited on Connecticut College campus property. Although Connecticut state law permits the use of medical and recreational marijuana (over 21 years of age), the use, possession, and/or cultivation of marijuana remains a crime under federal law (see the federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act). As a recipient of federal funding, the College prohibits the use and/or possession of all federally-classified controlled substances, including marijuana. Therefore, the possession and/or use of marijuana in any form, even if accompanied by a medical prescription, is prohibited on all College property, in any College residential area, and/or during any College activity. The misuse and distribution of prescription drugs is also a violation of campus policy. Students are responsible for securing their own prescription medication. Prescribed medical marijuana is not permitted on campus by the federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act. The College reserves the right to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency regarding illegal drug activity. Please consult the Student Handbook for the current illicit drug policy. Connecticut Statute is available for view online at http://www.jud.state.ct.us/lawlib/law/drugs.htm
Veteran’s Affairs

Connecticut College will permit any covered individual to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the educational institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a "certificate of eligibility" can also include a "Statement of Benefits" obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) website - eBenefits, or a VAF 28- 1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes) and ending on the earlier of the following dates:
1. The date on which payment from VA is made to the institution.
2. 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt
of the certificate of eligibility.
Connecticut College will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual's inability to meet his or her financial obligations
to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
NOTE: A Covered Individual is any individual who is entitled to educational assistance under chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or chapter 33, Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
