Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program

The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 requires the University to establish a drug and alcohol prevention program for its students and employees. University of Missouri regulations prohibit the unlawful manufacture, use, possession, sale or distribution of alcoholic beverages or any controlled substance without proper prescription or required license or as expressly permitted by law or University regulations.

Local, state and federal laws also prohibit the unlawful possession, use, distribution and sale of alcohol and illicit drugs. Criminal penalties for violation of such laws range from fines up to $20,000 to imprisonment for terms up to and including life. Violation of these University of Missouri regulations can result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion for students and discharge for employees.
