Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology Programs Drug Testing Policy

 Return to: Programs  

Students in the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology programs are strictly prohibited from being under the influence of alcohol or any drug/medication, which alters behavior, or appearance of capability while engaged in any portion of their formal educational experience. Students are subject to drug testing at times, in which student actions constitute reasonable suspicion. Factors, which may indicate reasonable suspicion for drug testing, include but are not limited to:

• Contributing to a lab accident
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Unexplained abnormal or erratic behavior
• Observance of drug or alcohol use
• Other behavior that gives reasonable suspicion

Students who display reasonable suspicion will immediately be removed from education experience and required to submit to an immediate drug screening. Students will be given a timeframe by which they must arrive at the testing center. If a student is late arriving, the test will not be performed and the student will be considered positive. If students refuse to take a drug screening test, they will be considered positive.

Students who test positive will be processed through the Student Code of Conduct.
