The Drug-Free Workplace Policy and Drug-Free Awareness Program

The policy and program of the College in this regard are designed to enhance the physical health of employees and students, and to provide a safe workplace. All employees and students are expected to be in suitable mental and physical condition while at work or in the learning environment and to perform their jobs in a satisfactory fashion.

In accordance with this policy, when the use of controlled substances interferes with an employee’s or student’s responsibilities, appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination or expulsion, will be taken.

Colby Community College values the dignity of every individual and is committed to maintaining an educational setting which will provide students and employees with optimum opportunities for reaching their potential. This commitment is incorporated in the institutional philosophy and outcomes which specify the paramount importance of student welfare.

Colby Community College does not permit or condone the consumption of alcoholic beverages by an individual under the age of 21. All laws, local, state, and federal concerning the possession or use of illegal drugs by any student, faculty or staff member will be strictly enforced on the campus and at any event sponsored by the College.

Procedures for Requesting a Medical Withdrawal

Students who seek to withdraw for medical purposes will need to contact the Vice President of Academic Affairs or the Vice President of Student Affairs.

Students requesting a medical withdrawal will need to provide pertinent medical information from his/her medical provider(s) that document why a medical withdrawal is necessary. Students will be responsible for tuition, fees, room, and/or board. The Vice President of Student Affairs and Vice President of Academic Affairs will work with the student to determine if any of the charges can be reduced in accordance with drop dates for the semester.

International Students seeking a medical withdrawal must still comply with SEVIS rules and regulations.
