Drug and Alcohol Policy

Monitoring Student Criminal Activity Off-Campus

Given that the Academy is an on-line institution, off-campus student criminal activity is not monitored.

Policies and Programs Concerning Alcohol and Drugs

It is the Academy’s desire to provide a drug-free, healthful, and safe workplace. Faculty and staff are required to report to work in appropriate mental and physical condition to perform their jobs in a satisfactory manner.

The United States Sports Academy is committed to providing an environment free of the abuse of alcohol and illegal use of alcohol and other drugs. The unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on the campus, is strictly prohibited. Academy authorities will cooperate fully with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

While on the Academy campus and while conducting business-related activities off the campus, no employee may use, possess, distribute, or sell illegal drugs. The legal use of prescribed drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair an employee’s ability to perform the essential functions of the job effectively and in a safe manner that does not endanger other individuals in the workplace.

Students, faculty or staff with questions about this policy or issues related to drug or alcohol use in the workplace should raise their concerns with their supervisor or the Director of Administration without fear of reprisal.

There are a variety of community organizations available to help individuals who have substance abuse problems. Below is a list of some drug and alcohol prevention, counseling, treatment and rehabilitation, and re-entry programs. Additional programs may be listed in local and other area telephone directories.
