It is the policy of the South Carolina Technical College System and Central Carolina Technical College to provide a drug free, healthful, safe and secure work and educational environment. Students are required and expected to report to their on campus work, class, or student activities in appropriate mental and physical condition to meet the requirements and expectations of their respective roles.

The College prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession or use of narcotics, drugs, other controlled substances or alcohol at the workplace or educational setting. Unlawful for these purposes means in violation of federal/state/local regulations, policy, procedures, rules, as well as legal statutes. Educational setting includes both institutional premises and approved educational sites off campus.

Students must abide by the policy on alcohol and drug use as well as related procedures, statements, laws, and guidelines. Violation of any provision may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination from campus employment and expulsion from the College. Violations may also lead to further legal consequences consistent with federal and state laws and regulations. Action taken against students who violate the drug and alcohol policy will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct which is detailed in the College Catalog and Student Handbook.

Drug and/or alcohol abuse in the workplace or educational setting is dangerous because it leads to physical impairment, loss of judgment, safety violations, risk of injury, and poor health or even death. It can lower performance on the job or in the classroom, thus seriously affecting students’ educational and career goals. The College recognizes that chemical dependency through use of controlled or uncontrolled substances, including alcohol, is a treatable illness. Central Carolina supports and recommends student rehabilitation and assistance programs and encourages students to use such programs.
