Ithaca College

Ithaca College’s Medical Amnesty Policy (IC MAP) encourages students to seek medical assistance related to drug and alcohol use without worrying about college judicial consequences. If you are concerned for a friend who passes out (or experiences another medical difficulty) from drugs and/or alcohol, be sure to get them help ASAP. The student who receives medical assistance - and the student who called for help- will NOT be sanctioned through the college judicial system, if the following apply:

• The case has been approved for amnesty by the Office of Judicial Affairs.
• No other conduct violations were committed by the student during the same incident.
• The student completes a required educational follow-up in a timely manner.

Remember, an unconscious intoxicated individual will typically only get worse since alcohol is gradually absorbed into the blood stream. YOU may be in a position to help save your friend's life!
