The College supports and complies with Federal and state laws pertaining to drug and alcohol abuse. The misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol pose a serious threat to the College, its employees and students.
Selling, buying, manufacturing, transferrin, distributing, and/or possessing of illegal drugs, alcohol, drug paraphernalia, or improper or abusive use of legally prescribed drugs and other intoxicating substances on College premises, while conducting College business, or in College-owned, leased, or rented vehicles is prohibited and is cause for immediate termination. Reporting to work or working while under the influence of an illegal drug, alcohol, or in an impaired condition is also prohibited.
