The Mount Holyoke Policy on Alcohol and Drug-Free Environment The Mount Holyoke policy on alcohol and drug-free environment prohibits the unlawful manufacture, possession, use, dispensation, or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs by any member of the faculty, staff, or student body on College property or at any College-sponsored function, on or off campus. Any faculty or staff member or student who violates this policy faces disciplinary action up to and including expulsion or dismissal from the College and/or may be required to enroll in a substance-abuse counseling and/or a treatment program at his or her own expense, as a condition of continuing employment or enrollment at the College. Anyone violating federal, state, or local laws relating to alcohol or drug use also risks fines and imprisonment.

Individuals may obtain information packets, including the complete policy statement and disciplinary sanctions, a summary of local, state, and federal drug enforcement laws, a reference guide on the uses and effects of alcohol and other drugs, and a resource guide to area facilities offering counseling services. These packets are available from the dean of the faculty’s office, the health center, the human resources department, and the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Project. Copies are also on reserve at the library. Specific rules and regulations governing alcohol consumption and violations of College policies are outlined in the student handbook, staff handbook, and the handbook of faculty legislation.
