Substance-free Campus
Belmont University values self-control and respect for self and others, which enables all individuals to develop intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally and physically. Therefore, the university is committed to an environment free of the possession or use of alcohol and illegal drugs. The university makes no special provision for used or unused alcohol or drug paraphernalia and containers. These items are prohibited as well.
It shall be a violation of the Belmont's values and the Substance-free Campus policy to drink, possess, be in the presence of, distribute or be impaired as a result of drinking alcoholic beverages on campus or at any university sponsored activity on or off campus. Also, any involvement in illegal activities on or off campus, including the use, possession, distribution or impairment as a result of illegal drugs shall result in the imposition of one or more of the disciplinary actions set forth elsewhere in The Bruin Guide. Violations of these standards of conduct may result in university disciplinary action or severe criminal penalties under local, state and federal law. Federal legislation requires that those penalties be set forth in writing.
