The following policy applies to all enrolled students at IU Northwest.

  • The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance (usually referred to as illegal drugs listed under the federal Controlled Substances Act) and alcohol is prohibited on University property or in the course of a University activity, and is cause for discipline up to and including expulsion from the University.
  • In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, and the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, all students enrolled in the University are required: 1) to abide by the prohibition contained in paragraph 1, above; and 2) to notify the campus Chancellor of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring on University property no later than five days after such conviction.
  • Any student found to be under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance while on University property, or in the course of a University activity, is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion.  More specific information about procedures and penalties applied to students' cases of substance abuse can be found in the Indiana University Code of Student Ethics, issued August 15, 1990, Part III, Section B and C and Part IV.
  • Any student whose use of alcohol or of controlled substances away from the University can reasonably be established to be the cause of poor attendance or class performance problems is to be counseled to seek rehabilitation from available University or community resources which is available in both the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Office and the Office of Student Life.
  • When notice of a criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring on University property is received, the campus Chancellor's office will coordinate compliance with the reporting requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.
  • Any student convicted of a criminal alcohol violation or a violation of the criminal drug statutes occurring on University property is subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.
