In addition to the many known health risks associated with illegal drug use, we are required by law to notify all students that a federal or state drug conviction for an offense that occurs while a student is receiving federal student aid may disqualify a student from receiving future federal student aid funds.
For students convicted of possession or sale (including conspiring to sell) of illegal drugs where the offense occurred while the student was receiving federal student aid, the student will be ineligible for federal student aid as described below.
- Possession of Illegal Drugs: 1st Offense:
Ineligible for federal student aid for 1 year from date of conviction. - Possession of Illegal Drugs: 2nd Offense:
Ineligible for federal student aid for 2 years from date of conviction. - Possession of Illegal Drugs: 3rd Offense:
Ineligible for federal student aid indefinitely. - Sale of Illegal Drugs: 1st Offense:
Ineligible for federal student aid for 2 years from date of conviction. - Sale of Illegal Drugs: 2nd Offense:
Ineligible for federal student aid indefinitely.
