What is UKs illegal drug policy? What happens when a student violates UKs illegal drug policy?
The University does not allow illegal drug use on campus. For drug use, the University typically responds in a pattern similar to that used for alcohol violations. The first time a student is caught using drugs, he or she is usually placed on probation and required to attend Choices, a 6-hour alcohol and drug education program, at a cost of $100. The student may also be referred to a counseling center for an assessment. If the student is under the age of 21, his or her parents may also be notified. If a student is caught using drugs a second time, the student will typically be suspended from the University. If a student is caught selling or distributing drugs on campus, the student is usually suspended on a first offense.
