Policy
If a faculty member or the director of Student Wellness Program suspects a student of impairment due to substance abuse, the student will be required to submit to an immediate drug screen and will be referred to SWP services for evaluation. SWP will forward a report with treatment recommendations and the results of the drug screen to the associate dean for academic affairs to be placed in the student’s permanent record. The student must comply with the treatment plan recommended by SWP to continue in his or her respective program. A student who is identified under the CHP Substance Abuse Policy is subject to periodic random drug screening as long as he or she is a student at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Subsequent drug screenings are at the student’s cost. Any subsequent drug screening that is reported as “positive” will result in the immediate dismissal of the student. The refusal of the student to submit to the drug screen or SWP evaluation and/or recommended treatment plan will result in immediate dismissal of the student.
