Code of Conduct

Drugs
The College prohibits the use, possession, distribution, or sale of drugs (i.e. hallucinogens, narcotics, stimulants, and depressants) which are illegal except when prescribed by a physician. The possession of drug-related paraphenalia such as bongs and pipes are a violation of South Dakota laws and are prohibited. This policy is in accordance with state and federal laws including the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989 (refer to Alcoholic Beverage policy). Violations of this policy will be referred to a law enforcement agency in accordance with civil and criminal law.

Augustana College seeks to reduce barriers to obtaining emergency assistance because alcohol- and drug-related emergencies are potentially life threatening. In case of dangerous intoxication, overdose and/or poisoning, it is imperative that medical assistance be summoned. The College believes that the importance of making a call for medical assistance when faced with an alcohol- or drug-related emergency far outweighs the consequences of a college policy violation and therefore, no student seeking medical assistance for themselves or another will be subject to college discipline for the sole violation of using or possessing alcoholic beverages. However, the College may mandate education in order to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences.
