Drug and alcohol policies
The college at all times prohibits the use, possession, or sale of illegal
substances by any student and the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages
by minors.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages on college property or at college-sponsored
activities is prohibited except at such times and places as the college may
expressly permit. On such occasions, everyone is expected to refrain from excessive
consumption of alcoholic beverages. The failure of any student to abide by
this policy shall be grounds for disciplinary action. Under no circumstances
are individuals under 21 permitted to consume alcohol.

Sexual assault policy
Sexual assault, as defined in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime
Reporting System, includes forcible and non-forcible offenses for which an
individual may be prosecuted under the law and/or disciplined in accordance
with campus disciplinary procedures.
When an allegation of sexual assault is made, the college will advise the
alleged victim of their option to pursue criminal prosecution under the Massachusetts criminal
statutes. In addition, appropriate campus disciplinary action may be pursued.
Sanctions for sexual assault violations may include, in addition to criminal
charges, suspension, dismissal, or expulsion from the college.
If a person receives a report of or discovers a possible sexual assault on
campus he/she should notify the Director of Public Safety immediately;
or, if in the evening, the Campus Police Officer on duty or security personnel
at the Public Safety Office, or a faculty or staff member. It is extremely important
that these procedures be followed to ensure that appropriate medical and administrative
services be provided. Once an assault is reported, the person to whom the report
is made becomes responsible for implementing established procedure.
