Drug and Alcohol-Free Policy
The purpose of the Drug and Alcohol-Free College Policy is to maintain a safe and productive teaching and learning environment and to be in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. As part of the effort to create a drug-free campus, Ivy Tech Community College believes that employees and students should be educated about the physical and emotional health risks associated with the misuse of alcohol and drugs, treatment programs available in Indiana, and the possible legal consequences of drug and alcohol abuse. Information on the Drug-Free Awareness Program is available in the office of the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.

Ivy Tech Community College’s Drug and Alcohol-Free Policy includes the following:

• All students are expected to attend classes, labs, and college activities unhindered by the substances defined in the policy, which include all illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages and misused legal drugs (both prescription and over-the-counter).
• Illegal drugs refer to the illegal manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession of use of controlled substances listed in the Indiana Controlled Substances Act (IC 35-48-1-1, et seq).
• The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, and use of illegal drugs present a hazard to students, employees, and property and are not permitted at any property in use by the College, at any official function sponsored by the College, and at any course conducted by the College, except by special written permission of the president of the College.
• Any student convicted of a criminal drug offense in or on properties controlled by the College, or while conducting college business, is required to notify the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs within five days of the conviction.
• Any student who violates this policy is subject to disciplinary action. Such action may include, but is not limited to, dismissal from college classes, programs, and activities. The Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs is responsible for implementing the Drug-Free College Policy as it relates to students.
