It is the intent of the University to educate students about the risks associated with drugs and alcohol along with skills to help maintain a safe student experience. Any student found using or distributing alcohol and/or other drugs on campus, in on-campus housing, or during campus-sponsored activities will face disciplinary action by the administration, including but not limited to a mandatory drug assessment, referral for counseling, and/or treatment as recommended by a University-approved counselor or counseling service, and/or suspension or expulsion.

Drug and Alcohol Dependency Testing

The University may require any student who is reasonably suspected of drug use to undergo drug testing. Any drug tests required will be conducted by a state certified laboratory during or immediately following regular working or classroom hours. The tests will be paid for by the University. Any student who requests a retest of a sample in order to challenge the results of a positive test is required to pay all costs of additional tests.

The University may also require a drug and alcohol dependency evaluation with either an in-house or contracted program that provides substance abuse counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation. A 鈥淩elease-Of-Information鈥� form provided by the University must be signed by the student prior to any referral for testing or counseling.

Students receiving sanctions requiring treatment may use any other certified program. In any case, a student must provide proof of treatment before consideration is given to his or her reinstatement.

Disciplinary Action for Drug and Alcohol Use

Any student found using or distributing alcohol and other drugs on campus, in on-campus housing, or during campus- sponsored activities can face disciplinary action by the University. The disciplinary action may include a drug assessment, referral for counseling, and/or treatment as recommended by a University approved counselor or counseling service.

The University may take disciplinary action against a student who refuses to undergo drug and alcohol testing. The University will take no disciplinary action against a student, except for temporary suspension, until the first test result has been confirmed by an additional test. Any student has the right to an explanation, in confidence, of the test results and may obtain all information and records related to testing. Information related to drug and alcohol tests will be kept confidential and apart from other student records.

Notification to State and Federal Authorities

The University may refer individuals to applicable local, state, or federal law enforcement authorities for prosecution. Any student who is convicted under a criminal drug statute for a violation occurring in any campus owned or leased facility must notify the University within five working days of the conviction. Within ten working days, 女神羞羞研究所 is required to notify the Department of Education of the disciplinary action. Within thirty days, the University will take appropriate disciplinary action. Any questions concerning this policy may be directed to the Vice President for Student Affairs.

Federal Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Violations (under section 484(r) of the Higher Education Act):

Conviction for an offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs that occurred during a period of enrollment when a student was receiving federal financial aid (grant, loan, or work assistance under Title IV), can affect the student鈥檚 eligibility for federal student aid for a period of time :

• First offense - for one year from the date of conviction for possession or for two years from the date of conviction for sale of illegal drugs
• Second offense - for two years from the date of conviction for possession of illegal drugs or for an indefinite period for sale of illegal drugs
• Third (and subsequent) offenses 鈥� for an indefinite period for the possession and/or sale of illegal drugs
• Students convicted of both possession and sale will be ineligible for the longer of the two periods.

A student whose eligibility is suspended as a result of penalties under section 484(r) of the Higher Education Act will be provided written notice of the loss of eligibility and advised of the ways in which eligibility can be regained. The student may resume eligibility prior to the end of the ineligibility period by completing a qualified drug rehabilitation program that includes two unannounced drug tests.

Effect of Drug Law Violations on Financial Aid

A student who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student is enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid is not eligible for Title IV funds. A borrower鈥檚 eligibility is based on the student鈥檚 self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students with eligibility issues as determined by the Department of Education are notified via their Student Aid Report and are directed to contact the Department of Education for a year-specific Worksheet to determine eligibility for federal student aid. Convictions that are reversed, set aside, or removed from the student鈥檚 record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.

女神羞羞研究所 complies with 女神羞羞研究所 law requiring all students, including undergraduate, graduate, and law students, to provide documentation of having received the following vaccinations:

• MEASLES, MUMPS, RUBELLA (MMR): Documentation of 2 shots or serologies is required. List either the two dates of the MMRs received or the individual titer dates and results. The first MMR must have been received on or after your first birthday and there must be at least 28 days between the first and second MMR. If received prior to your first birthday or there is less than 28 days between the two MMRs received, you are required to have another MMR or show proof of positive titers.
• HEPATITIS B: If you are in the process of receiving your Hep B immunizations for the first time, you are required to have the three-shot series and provide the date. If you have completed your Hep B immunizations more than one year ago, please provide the date vaccines were received or the titer date and result. If the 3-dose series is needed, then the doses should be in a 0, 1, 6 month interval.
• TETANUS: Booster is not required, but highly recommended within the last 5 years.
• MENINGITIS: All students living in on-campus housing are required to either get the Meningitis vaccine or sign a waiver against the vaccine.
• TUBERCULIN SKIN TEST: (Required Mantoux PPD): International students are required to have a TB skin test within the first 6 weeks of the first semester of enrollment. For 2019-2020 academic year, the official dates to have the TB skin test completed are October 1st for the Summer and Fall semester and March 1st for the Spring semester. The TB skin test is a small injection given in the forearm. All skin tests need to be read within 48 -72 hours or another test must be done. The cost for the test at Campus Health is $20. Please list the dates and results (in millimeters) for previous PPD鈥檚 received. Instead of a PPD, it is acceptable annually to provide negative QuantiFERON gold blood test results within 60 days prior to the first semester.

The x-ray date along with a copy of the physician鈥檚 report must be submitted to Campus Health. An x-ray older than one year will be accepted if you have completed the full INH treatment and have been symptom free for one year. Documentation must be submitted to campus health in person.

Note: For international students who have received the Bacille Calmette-Guerin Vaccine (BCG), your PPD will likely test positive regardless of any exposure, this procedure is still required since the vaccine is not resistant to all strains of TB.

Personal or Religious Exemptions:

The law allows that some students or their parents may have personal or religious tenets or beliefs that prohibit them from being immunized. In order to claim this exemption, a student over age 18 (or a parent or guardian if the student is under age 18) must sign a waiver that must be on file with the University. .

An enrollment hold will be placed on the records of any student who is not in compliance with 女神羞羞研究所 law. An enrollment hold restricts students abilities to enroll for additional semesters. Enrollment holds will be placed after October 1st in the Fall semester and March 1st in the Spring semester.

When turning in records:

• No original records will be accepted. Make a copy of the immunization record for Admissions and keep the original in a safe location for your records. Write your name and student ID number on the records before
• Call or email Campus Health with questions about immunization records and requirements at [email protected] or (405)208-5090. Do not email immunization records directly to the Campus Health Clinic

The Division of Student Affairs recognizes that the potential for disciplinary action by the Dean of Students Office may act as a barrier to students seeking medical assistance for themselves or other students in alcohol or other drug-related emergencies; therefore, the Division of Student Affairs maintains a medical amnesty protocol. In these incidents, the primary concern is the well-being, health, and safety of students.

Students needing medical assistance during an alcohol or other drug-related emergency will not face formal conduct action by the Dean of Students Office for the mere possession or use of alcohol or drugs. The recipients of medical attention will avoid formal conduct action through the nonacademic conduct process if they participate in an honest and forthright meeting with a representative from the Dean of Students Office. (The Dean of Students or his/her designee may extend the five business days requirement as necessary.)

Additionally, any student(s) or a student organization seeking medical assistance for themselves or another person, during an alcohol or other drug-related emergency, will not face formal conduct action by the Dean of Students Office for the mere possession or use of alcohol or drugs. In order to acquire medical amnesty, these individuals or representatives from organizations may need to meet with a representative from the Dean of Students Office within five business days of the incident and comply with any recommendations prescribed by the office.

Medical amnesty applies only to alcohol or other drug-related medical emergencies and does not apply to other prohibited conduct such as assault, property damage or distribution of illicit substances.

女神羞羞研究所 provides opportunities for student travel for activities that facilitate and/or enhance the learning process.

The Office of Academic Affairs or the Risk Management Department shall be consulted all matters concerning international travel or travel associated with the study abroad program.

I. University-Sponsored Travel

A. University-Sponsored Travel is student travel to an event that is initiated, actively managed, planned or arranged by a member of the University鈥檚 faculty or staff. University Sponsored Travel also includes travel that is initiated, actively managed, planned or arranged by a Registered Student Organization that has received University permission to facilitate travel for a specific function. University-Sponsored travel is wholly funded with University funds. The University shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury or other consequence resulting from a participant鈥檚 failure to comply with University rules and policies, the direction of University employees, or applicable law.

B. All participants are required to:

1. Comply with the standards set forth in the 女神羞羞研究所 Student Code of Conduct and Student Handbook, and other applicable University policies.

II. Non-University Sponsored Travel

Non-University-Sponsored travel is student travel that is not wholly funded using University funds. In some cases, the Student Government Association may support Registered Student Organization travel by providing funding for conference registration. This partial funding does not alter the non-University sponsored nature of the travel.

A. When participating in non-University sponsored travel, Registered Student Organizations are required to submit the 女神羞羞研究所 Group Travel Form to 女神羞羞研究所鈥檚 Office of Student Engagement via email ([email protected]) at least five (5) business days prior to the trip.

III. Transportation

A sponsoring University department may arrange for transportation by rental vehicle(s), chartered service, regularly scheduled transportation service, or, if necessary, personal vehicles.

Rental Vehicles: If rented with University funds, only approved university vehicle operators may drive; all terms of the rental contract must be enforced. The University prohibits departments or employees from renting 15-passenger vans for University travel.

Contract Bus Service: Adequate insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage must be provided by the bus company.

Personal Vehicles: Personal vehicles should only be used on a voluntary basis. The owners/drivers must provide their own insurance coverage. All student participants choosing to ride in a private automobile do so voluntarily and at their own risk. The University shall not insure or accept liability for any damage, loss or injury resulting from the use of a private vehicle. The University does not provide comprehensive or collision (physical damage) insurance for private vehicles driven on University business, and the owner is responsible for primary liability insurance. The University does carry non-owner excess liability coverage to protect the University and employee in the event of a suit resulting from an automobile accident in which an employee was driving on University business.

IV. Accident and Medical Insurance

All student participants shall be responsible for any medical costs they incur during and/or as a result of the trip.
