WAC 132E-120-400   Drug-free campus policy.  Everett Community College's board of trustees have adopted a policy for the maintenance of a drug-free campus. The provisions of this policy as it relates to students are as follows:

     (1) Students who report to class or work must do so unimpaired due to the use of alcohol or other drugs.

     (2) Unlawful use, possession, delivery, dispensation, distribution, manufacture or sale of drugs on college property, in state vehicles or on official business is strictly prohibited. Documented evidence of illegal drug involvement will be given to law enforcement agencies.

     (3) Possession or consuming any form of liquor or alcoholic beverage on college property or at off-campus college events is prohibited except as a participant of legal age at a college sponsored program which has the special written permission of the college president.

     (4) Students found in violation of this policy will be subject to formal disciplinary action, which could include completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program up to and/or including dismissal/expulsion.

     (5) Students needing assistance with problems related to alcohol or drug abuse are encouraged to seek referral from a counselor in the counseling, advising and career center and/or appropriate off campus substance abuse agencies.

     (6) Students must report any criminal drug statute conviction to the vice-president for student services within five school days after such conviction.

     (7) The college will report the conviction to the appropriate federal or state agency within ten working days after having received notice that a student employed under a federally funded grant or contract or receiving grant funds has any drug statute conviction occurring on campus.

     (8) All students, regardless of status, shall comply with this policy regarding a drug-free campus.
