DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES: A CHALLENGE FOR US ALL

The University of Dayton expects all students and employees to adhere to University regulations, Federal, State and local laws concerning alcohol and other substances. The illicit and improper use, transfer, possession and/or sale of illegal drugs or alcohol and the possession and/or use of any drug paraphernalia are prohibited at the University of Dayton. Violators will be prosecuted in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances and will be subject as well to disciplinary action by the University. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to, counseling, fines, community service, referral to an educational or treatment program or separation from the University. Students are directed to the University of Dayton Student Handbook for specific details. Employees are directed to the University of Dayton Position Statement On A Drug-Free Workplace/ Workforce available through the Office of Human Resources.

As an educational component of the University's discipline process, students involved in disciplinary violations in which their behavior indicates an alcohol or substance abuse problem may be required to participate in an alcohol/ substance abuse educational program. Students who have completed the educational program but continue to exhibit alcohol or substance abuse related behavioral problems may be referred to a comprehensive treatment program as a condition of continued enrollment at the University of Dayton. Specific information is available in the University of Dayton Student Handbook.

Employees who feel they may have an alcohol/ substance abuse problem are urged to contact the Employee Assistance Program. Further information may be obtained anonymously from the Office of Human Resources.

The Counseling Center can provide individual counseling for students or The Office of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention can provide a referral to the University of Dayton Substance Education Program, to outside assistance or to Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Adult Children of Alcoholics. Employee referral to the Employee Assistance Program is through the Office of Human Resources.
