Drugs and Alcohol
Stetson has a long standing policy which prohibits unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs by students and employees on the campus. The University strives to educate students to the potentially harmful effects of alcohol and substance abuse and to counsel students who seek assistance or treatment for alcohol and substance abuse impairment. Prevention programs are produced throughout the school year by University offices and student organizations. The Counseling Center provides counseling for students seeking treatment for abuse and referral to appropriate off-campus resources when necessary. Employees may seek help through the University's Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Student judicial proceedings against a student who violates University policies including alcohol and illicit drugs will be initiated in accordance with published procedures. Violators may also be subject to legal action by civil authorities.
