Alcoholic Beverages and Illegal Drugs
Richmont Graduate University is committed to maintaining a drug-free learning environment. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited on Richmont grounds or at Richmont activities by all students and employees. It is also a violation of Richmont policy for anyone to consume or possess alcohol in any public or private area of campus without prior University approval. The use of wine for communion is excluded from the need for prior approval. In addition, it is a violation of Richmont policy for employees to work while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
Individuals or groups violating alcohol or substance use policies (either on- or off-campus) will be subject to disciplinary action by the University and, possibly, criminal prosecution. Any infraction of federal, state, or local laws will be reported to local law enforcement agencies.
Additional detail on sanctions and penalties regarding drugs and alcohol is available in the Student Handbook and Faculty Handbook.
