As a student at Arizona State University, many of you are in the middle of the time of your life. Attending a well-respected university, getting involved in school activities, enjoying Spring Break time off by spending time with friends, and making new friends. This time can be fun and exciting, but being caught by police drinking alcohol as a minor can put a major damper on the good times. These charges, known as a minor in possession and minor in consumption, is more than just a speeding ticket. It can stay on your record forever, and carries severe consequences including hefty fines and can impact your job, your future career, and your immediate security as an ASU student.
