Alcohol and Substance Abuse Statement
In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), the institution does not permit or condone the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students or employees while on school premises or as any part of its activities. The institution will impose disciplinary sanctions on students and employees for violations of this policy (consistent with local, State, and Federal law) up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution. Any use of alcohol on campus and at college sponsored events must be approved in writing by the campus president and must be consistent with state law.
Alcohol is only permitted in designated areas in the student housing program in compliance with State and local laws. Please refer to the House and Residence Life Rules and Regulations Handbook for more details.
Students and employees should also be aware that the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol are dangerous to personal health and present an additional risk for pregnant women and their unborn children. Drug and alcohol counseling referrals are available to students and employees through the Office of Student Affairs or the Human Resources department. Individuals needing treatment or rehabilitation are referred to an appropriate community resource. Neumont does not assume the responsibility for the cost or effectiveness of such treatment or rehabilitation.
