AlcoholEdu for Sanctions
Any violation of the College's Drug and Alcohol Policy may be disciplined in accordance with the College's disciplinary procedures for students. Further, the College may refer the student for criminal prosecution. Any sanction imposed by the College is independent of, and is in addition to, any penalty imposed in connection with a criminal conviction.
The sanctions that may be imposed on a student include, but are not limited to, warning, educational, disciplinary probation, mandated counseling/alcohol or drug use prevention program, deferred suspension, suspension, dismissal and expulsion from College housing and/or the College. In determining a sanction, the College will consider the nature and severity of the violation, the impact of the transaction on the campus community, and the student's disciplinary history.
AlcoholEdu for Sanctions helps students who have violated alcohol policies make safer and healthier choices – and avoid getting in trouble again. The course provides a strong educational foundation to support campus judicial programs and is an essential component of a comprehensive alcohol prevention initiative.
