Student conduct violations are considered by the Student-Wide Judiciary or the Committee for the Maintenance of Public Order. Sanctions may range from warnings to expulsion for violation of university standards. Local, state, and federal laws for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol are enforced on campus. These include the State Penal Code provisions on the possession and sale of controlled substances and federal controlled substance possession and trafficking sanctions. Violations of state laws can result in fines and up to life in prison.
Federal sanctions are similar.
The use and overdose of illicit drugs and alcohol can lead to physical and psychological dependence, behavioral changes, physical and psychological damage, and possible death. Even low doses may significantly impair judgement and coordination. A complete copy of the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act statement is available for student review.
