Drug-Free School

TSTC cares about you. Besides causing you to be dismissed from TSTC, drug and alcohol use can impact your life, the lives of your family and friends, and your career.

Drug and Alcohol Policy Statement

We are a drug- and alcohol-free organization. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, purchase, dispensation, possession or use of an illegal drug or alcohol by students and employees on college property, or as a part of any college-sponsored activity, is prohibited. Students who violate any provision of our policies will be subject to disciplinary sanctions ranging from suspension to referral for prosecution. Employees who violate any provisions may be subject to disciplinary action up to termination.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse

Drug and alcohol use are dangerous. In the short term, they impair your abilities. Long-term abuse can cause health problems and even lead to death. Worse, you can’t be sure what’s in drugs you buy on the street; they could contain ingredients or quantities that might kill you.

Becoming dependent on drugs or alcohol:

Changes your psychological functioning: you become focused on getting more
Leads to bad decision-making
Damages your family and personal relationships
Harms your job performance
Damages your health
