Drug Free Schools Act

The Office of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Programs is responsible for coordinating distribution of information required by the Drug Free Schools and Community Act (DFSCA) as well as the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Regulations.

These regulations require university campuses to certify that they have adopted and implemented programming to prevent the unlawful possession, use, and distribution of illicit drugs/alcohol by both students and employees. The information below is available via the DAWN web site and is distributed to all students annually.
