For Cause or Reasonable Suspicion Drug Nicotine and Alcohol Screening

The SONHS may ask a student to submit to a drug and alcohol screening at any time a faculty member believes that the student may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This includes but is not limited to the following circumstances: evidence of drugs or alcohol on or about the student’s person or in the student’s possession, unusual conduct on the student’s part that suggests possible use or influence of drugs or alcohol, negative performance patterns, or excessive and unexplained absenteeism or tardiness. Determination will be made by the Program Director after consultation with the clinical faculty.

Students will be asked to submit to an immediate urine drug and alcohol screening test conducted at one of the laboratory options provided.
Students will be required to show picture identification upon arrival. A driver’s license or passport are acceptable forms of identification.
The costs for all screening are the students’ responsibility.
A negative report, excluding a positive nicotine result, is necessary to continue in the program of study in the SONHS.
