Drug Free Workplace and Drug Free Campus Policy
Finger Lakes Community College is committed to the maintenance of a drug free work environment. As an educational institution, the College endeavors to promote healthy lifestyles for its staff and students and has established policies concerning alcohol and tobacco use on its premises. In keeping with this goal, a Wellness is Now committee was established to address issues of substance use through a strategic wellness plan. The College clearly does not condone the unlawful use, possession, distribution, or manufacture of controlled substances or the abuse of alcohol on its premises.
This policy, as outlined in the Student Handbook, describes the philosophy of Finger Lakes Community College and the program elements the College will use to meet our commitment.
Students may obtain a copy of the Student Code of Conduct from the Community Standards and Counseling Office and on the FLCC website at https://www.flcc.edu/offices/judicial/code-of-conduct.cfm
Amnesty for Student Reporting
The College community encourages the reporting of misconduct and crimes by reporting parties and witnesses. Sometimes, students who are reporting parties or witnesses are hesitant to report to College officials or participate in resolution processes because they fear that they themselves may be accused of policy violations, such as underage drinking at the time of the incident. It is in the best interests of this community that reporting parties choose to report to College officials, and that witnesses come forward to share what they know. To encourage reporting, the Student Code of Conduct and the Title IX Grievance Policy offers reporting student parties and witnesses amnesty from minor policy violations related to the incident.
