It is the intention of the Coast Community College District to provide a drug-free environment that maximizes academic achievement and personal growth. The District recognizes that alcohol and other drug use or abuse pose a significant threat to the health, safety and well-being of the user and the people around them. The County of Orange Health Care Agency, Drug and Alcohol Services, offers therapy and counseling. Alcoholics Anonymous open meetings are Tuesdays, 5-6 p.m., at the GWC Student Health Center.
Information is available for other times and sites.
The Student Health Center also provides information and referrals to other community resources and support groups. These rules describe the penalties and disciplinary actions when violations occur. Information on laws and the Code of Conduct are available at Student Health Services. The Coast Community College District policy prohibits all use of alcohol and illicit drugs on District property, or in District vehicles regardless of location. Furthermore, the use of all tobacco products is prohibited in all District buildings and vehicles.
