DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICES

• UNC DRUG POLICY: The University prohibits the unlawful or unauthorized manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or consumption, sale or use of controlled substances on or in University-owned or controlled property or in the course of University business or activities. Individuals or entities including, but not limited to, students, employees, contractors, agents, volunteers or invitees, who violate this policy shall be subject to discipline, termination/dismissal, debarment, arrest, or citation, as applicable. Additionally employees or students who violate this policy may be required to participate satisfactorily in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program offered by the University.
• ALCOHOL POLICY: The administration, faculty, and students of the University of Northern Colorado assert that the misuse/abuse of alcohol has no valid place in any University of Northern Colorado tradition. The administration, faculty, and students affirm their support for those programs leading to a wider understanding of the use, misuse, and abuse of alcohol, and encourage further educational efforts designed for all members of the University community to make informed choices where alcohol is involved. The complete Drug and Alcohol policy is published in the Student Handbook and in the pamphlet, A Matter of Facts, which is distributed to all students and staff at UNC (Section 1213 of the Higher Education Act of 1965).This policy is strictly enforced. We have found that the abuse of alcohol and drugs is a factor in may other criminal acts on campus. As a result of recent changes to the Cleary Act, institutions of higher education are now able to contact the parents of dependent students regarding drug/alcohol usage. As a result, UNC can and may contact parents in the event that their dependent child is involved in a drug or alcohol related incident. Each incident is evaluated on a case by case basis. Generally, parents will be notified when their dependent child is taken to the hospital or to Detox, received more than one alcohol/drug citation, or is involved in any incident that involves more than just alcohol consumption/possession. Over the past decade, the University Police, Greeley Police, Dean of Students, Residence Life, UNC Drug and Alcohol Office, District Attorney, and courts have formed a partnership to address underage drinking and alcohol associated issues. This has resulted in increased enforcement, multiple accountability, education, and numerous optional activities. The result has been a decrease in crime and disorderly behavior.
