In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, we are notifying students about the LCC Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP). This report is required by federal law to certify our good faith effort to implement programs to prevent the abuse of alcohol and the use and/or distribution of illicit drugs by students and employees on LCC’s premises or as a part of its activities.

We encourage you to read the Drug and Alcohol Policy and the DAAPP to gain information about the standards of conduct, disciplinary sanctions, health risks, and drug and alcohol prevention programs and resources available to students.

The Drug and Alcohol Policy for LCC is consistent with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA). In conjunction with the Ethics Standards of Conduct for Students Policy, the Student Code of Conduct and General Rules and Guidelines, these ensure a safe environment for students.

All students on college property are expected to abide by the Student Code of Conduct. Accordingly, the following conduct and behaviors are strictly prohibited on college property, at college-sponsored events and while pursuing an academic program:

1. Use, possession, purchase, sale, dispensation, distribution or manufacture of any substance.
