At the start of last week, University of Otago vice-chancellor David Skegg sent an email to all students warning they risked the value of their degrees being "trashed" by students who misbehaved.
In a second letter to The Occupants: Castle Street, the university proctor, on the eve of a keg party in the street last Monday, warned that people found committing offences could be placing their future at the university in jeopardy.
However, proctor Simon Thompson said yesterday students were "generally well behaved" and had settled quickly back into their studies.
Eight students were referred to Mr Thompson over incidents during the week, but this was "not out of the ordinary" for any week at the university, he said.
Monday night's keg party in Castle St went by with little incident and only a few flats in the street took part.
Campus Watch staff were stationed in the street from mid-morning and police officers visited the street throughout the day.
Few disturbances were reported at an unofficial Cook-a-thon on Wednesday and only a handful of students turned up to an imitation of the Spanish La Tomatina tomato throwing festival, in Leith St North on Friday.
Senior Sergeant Gavin Briggs, of North Dunedin, said an annual keg party in Agnew St, North Dunedin, on Saturday was quiet because of cold weather.
Officers were at the street from about 10am onwards and reported about 300 people present at the busiest time during the afternoon.
However, about 5pm the street started to clear as the weather closed in.
Campus Watch officers reported two small fires later in the evening.
