Policy on Alcohol, THC, and Illicit Drugs

    St. Olaf College desires to have a campus free of alcohol, THC, and illicit drugs and to operate all of its academic and co-curricular programs accordingly. It does so out of the conviction that this freedom will:

    1 Enhance the atmosphere for study, learning, growth, work and wellness

    2. Support members of the community affected by or concerned with the abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs

    3. Respect the decisions of those who choose not to use alcohol or illicit drugs

    4. Promote a caring environment

    Since we recognize that members of the community may, within applicable federal, state and local law, choose to use alcohol or THC, St. Olaf College will actively educate the members of the campus community about alcohol and drugs and provide help for those affected by substance abuse problems. In addition, the college will provide social activities which do not rely on alcohol or illicit drugs and will maintain a supportive climate for those who choose not to use these substances.
