Substance Abuse

At èßäÊÓƵapp we are aware that the university is a microcosm of the environment around us.  As such, èßäÊÓƵapp prohibits possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in public place on èßäÊÓƵapp and enforces city and state laws including the prohibition of the possession and consumption of alcohol by those younger than 21.

èßäÊÓƵapp requires that all students be in compliance with all local, Texas, and federal laws regarding controlled substances including prohibition of their use, sale, possession, or manufacture. Although some states legalize the use of marijuana, it is still illegal to use or sell marijuana in the state of Texas.

A licensed substance abuse counselor is available to assist èßäÊÓƵapp students who may be “at risk” or struggling with alcohol or other drug problems. The counselor provided assessment, intervention, referral, short-term counseling, as well as on-going support for recovering students. Sessions with the licensed counselor are confidential and no information is released without written consent of the student.
