Central Piedmont is committed to maintaining a safe and productive teaching and learning environment for students and employees. The college endorses the federal government’s efforts in implementing the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989.  This means that illegal substances, such as marijuana, heroin, and cocaine, are not permitted on Central Piedmont’s campuses.  Alcohol and tobacco are also among the substances which are not permitted on our campuses.

Please visit the college’s Drug-Free College Web page to get information on the following topics related to the Drug-Free College policies:

• Standards of conduct and disciplinary sanctions for students who violate the Drug-Free College policies
• Legal sanctions for drug and alcohol activities that are a violation of state and federal law
• Health risks associated with the use of drugs and alcohol
• Help resources available to students who are concerned about their use of drugs and alcohol
