Announcement: Substance Use and Student Events on University Premises

The new regulation takes effect on November 1, 2026

According to Section 5 of Metropolia’s Code of Conduct, the consumption of alcohol and other intoxicating substances is prohibited on university premises.

Therefore, alcohol or other intoxicating substances may not be served or consumed at any student events held on the university’s premises. This prohibition also applies to events organized by student organizations and other student groups.

The prohibition applies to all indoor and outdoor areas on the university’s premises. The event organizer is responsible for ensuring that the facilities are used in accordance with this regulation.

Student events may still be held on the university’s premises provided that the event does not involve the consumption of alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

This regulation takes effect on November 1, 2026, and applies to all events organized after that date.

Thank you for your cooperation!
