Drugs and Narcotics
The possession, use or sale of drugs and narcotics, including marijuana, as specified by the State of Alaska and federal laws and regulations, is not allowed on campus, including in student residences. The possession, use, or sale of illegal substances is not condoned by the university. Any individual(s) involved in such actions will be subject to serious disciplinary sanctions.
Students found guilty of selling or distributing drugs on or off campus, including prescription medications, will be subject to immediate eviction from Student Housing and possible suspension from the university.
Students found to be using drugs, to be under the influence of drugs, to be misusing intoxicating substances (such as huffing), or to have drugs or drug paraphernalia in their possession will (for the first offense) be fined $100 and given the choice of leaving the university or submitting to counseling and random drug testing at their expense. Students found guilty of subsequent offenses will be evicted from Student Housing and subject to suspension from the institution.
In cases where students deny responsibility for the use or possession of drugs despite contradictory evidence, they will be asked by the Residence Life Manager to submit to a urinalysis drug test. Students are not required to take a urinalysis exam, but the election not to take the exam will be treated the same as an admission of guilt when judicial hearings are conducted and sanctioning is assigned. Students should keep in mind that traces of THC and other drugs may remain in the body for up to 30 days after consumption, so a student who has used illegal drugs even in the past may test positive for drug use.
