Ithaca College

Dear Campus Community:  

The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act was passed in 1989 as part of the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act and requires institutions of higher education that receive federal funding to execute a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program for its campus community.  As part of this, the college is required to notify all members of the campus community on an annual basis about the various prevention and education programs, resources, policies, and laws. 

The Ithaca College Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Guide includes but is not limited to an overview of Thrive @ IC, Alcohol Edu, the Ithaca College Student Code of Conduct, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the Drug-Free Workplace Act, and the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act.

The Ithaca College Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Guide was developed in collaboration with the Center for Health Promotion, Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, Human Resources, and Public Safety. The guide is made publicly available by visiting: www.ithaca.edu/public-safety-and-emergency-management/drug-free-schools-and-communities-act-dfsca

Respectfully, 

Elyse A. Nepa
