Medical Amnesty Policy

A bystander or a reporting individual acting in good faith that seeks immediate and appropriate medical assistance for a person in need related to the use or consumption of alcohol, drugs, or to another medical emergency, may not be subject to the Code of Student Conduct for violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the incident in question.

Steps to Medical Amnesty
