Drug Free Schools and Communities ActIn compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, the University of Puget Sound maintains the following policy and program requirements: The University Integrity Code (see Standards 3 and 4) prohibits the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of drugs and alcohol by students on the property of the University of Puget Sound or as any part of activities sponsored by the University. The University Substance Abuse Policy (see Section I) provides a summary of relevant laws regarding illicit use, distribution, and possession of drugs and alcohol which serves as the basis for University policy. All Students are expected to have read, understood, and agreed to abide by all these laws.
As part of the University’s program of substance abuse prevention, students are informed of the risks to health and personal safety which illicit use of alcohol and drugs poses. The Counseling, Health and Wellness Services office maintains a variety of brochures and offer informational programs which document the significant health risks caused by the abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Substance abuse assessment, counseling and referral are offered by members of the counseling staff. Students who wish to avail themselves of these services should contact the Counseling, Health and Wellness Services at Wheelock 216 (253.879.3370 or 253.879.3372).
Students should understand that violation of the above-named provisions of the University Integrity Code or Substance Abuse Policy will result in the imposition of sanctions which range from reprimand and referral for treatment to permanent expulsion from the University. For more information about the University’s enforcement of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act contact the Dean of Students, Wheelock 208 (253.879.3360). |
