Article 1—Student Rights and Responsibilities

Part 3. Student Discipline

§ 1-305 Policy on Drugs

(a) The University seeks to inform all students about drugs and their effects. To this end, it is the policy on this campus to provide educational programs and counseling to drug users and those affected by the drug use of others, to discourage illicit drug use, to eliminate dealing in or providing of illegal drugs, and to uphold the law in these matters. Various local agencies on campus can provide help. These include the Counseling Center, Student Services Arcade Building, 620 East John Street, Champaign, IL 61820, (217) 333-3704, and the Health Education Department, Drug and Alcohol Educator, McKinley Health Center, 1109 South Lincoln Avenue, Urbana IL 61801, (217) 333-2816.

(b) Drugs include controlled substances, alcohol, and substances that may be detrimental to health, even though not subject to state and federal laws.

(c) The illegal possession, use, distribution, sale, making or manufacture of drugs by a University student raises the question of a student’s fitness to continue at the University of Illinois. University disciplinary action may be initiated for any of the aforementioned activities.

(d) Drug use resulting in incapacitation that requires transportation to the hospital by emergency medical personnel, or refusal to accept such transportation when it is recommended by emergency medical personnel, can trigger a mandatory assessment (see § 2-102).
