Consequences for Alcohol and Other Drug Policy Violations

Violations of the Alcohol and Other Drug Policy will be addressed pursuant to the College’s discipline procedures. Along with any other appropriate sanctions, consequences of a violation of the College Alcohol and Other Drug policy may include one or more of the following:

  1. Required attendance and completion of a drug or alcohol education course;
  2. Rehabilitation;
  3. Treatment program satisfactory to the College;
  4. Required periodic alcohol and drug screening;
  5. Reporting the matter to appropriate law enforcement authorities, which, in any event, may be required in some cases involving violations of federal, state, or local alcohol or drug-related laws;
  6. Disciplinary fines and sanctions up to and including dismissal from the College which will effectuate appropriate resolution;
  7. Disciplinary probation which could result in extra-curricular activity suspension, including athletics.

A student may be required to present a statement of successful or continued successful participation in drug or alcohol rehabilitation satisfactory to the College and further drug and alcohol screening as a condition of continued enrollment. The cost of such rehabilitation, including communications between the drug or alcohol rehabilitation provider and the College and all drug and alcohol screenings, is the responsibility of the student.

As permitted by law, the College also reserves the right to release information about alcohol or drug related disciplinary violations to parents of students.
