IX. Regulations
Since Residences
are a part of Tec de Monterrey, they operate under the same regulations.
Additionally, residences have their own regulations; you should particularly
keep in mind three important rules:
a.. No alcohol or drugs are allowed in the
premises.
b.. Buildings are not co-ed, therefore male
students cannot visit female residences and vice versa.
c.. Female
Residences have a policy that requires girls to get a permit if they plan to
arrive after 10 P.M. Students who do not comply will be reported.
There are also
sporadic inspections on weekends to check alcohol level in students. This is
part of Tec's campaign to fight substance abuse.
