Student rooms are provided with telephones that have voice mail capabilities and a limited dialing capacity. To make long-distance calls, students must use a credit card or call collect.

Use of alcoholic beverages by students under 21 years of age and use of illicit drugs are prohibited on campus and at campus-sponsored events. Because Transylvania is part of the Lexington community and has a commitment to prepare students for responsible participation in the community and beyond, the university views consumption of alcoholic beverages by students 21 years of age or older as a personal decision, so long as it is done responsibly. Specific guidelines are provided to students at the start of each fall term.
