The following is a partial list of alcohol related laws and penalties.

The possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs is prohibited by federal law. Strict penalties are provided for drug convictions, including mandatory prison terms for many offenses. The following information, although not complete, is an overview of federal penalties for first convictions. All penalties are doubled for any subsequent drug conviction.

A. Denial of Federal Benefits (21 USC §862) 
A federal drug conviction may result in the loss of federal benefits, including school loans, grants, contracts and licenses. Federal drug trafficking convictions may result in denial of federal benefits for up to five years for a first conviction, 10 years for a second conviction and permanent denial of federal benefits for a third conviction. Federal drug convictions for possession may result in denial of federal benefits for up to one year for a first conviction and up to five years for subsequent convictions.

B. Forfeiture of Personal Property and Real Estate (21 USC §853) 
Any person convicted of a federal drug offense punishable by more than one year in prison shall forfeit to the United States any personal or real property related to the violation, including houses, cars and other personal belongings. A warrant of seizure may be issued and property seized at the time an individual is arrested on charges that may result in forfeiture.

C. Federal Drug Trafficking Penalties (21 USC §841) 
Penalties for federal drug trafficking convictions vary according to the quantity of the controlled substance involved in the transaction. The following list is a sample of the range and severity of federal penalties imposed for first convictions. Penalties for subsequent convictions are twice as severe. If death or serious bodily injury results from the use of a controlled substance that has been illegally distributed, the person convicted on federal charges of distributing the substance faces a prison term of not less than 20 years, but not more than life, and fines ranging up to $8 million. Persons convicted on federal charges of drug trafficking within 1,000 feet of a university (21 USC §860) face penalties of prison terms and fines which are twice as high as the regular penalties for the offense, with a mandatory prison sentence of at least one year.

D. Federal Drug Possession Penalties (21 USC §844) 
Persons convicted on federal charges of possessing any controlled substance face penalties of up to one year in prison and a minimum fine of $1,000, or both. Second convictions are punishable by not less than 15 days but not more than two years in prison and a minimum fine of $2,500. Subsequent convictions are punishable by not less than 90 days, but not more than three years in prison and a minimum fine of $5,000. Special sentencing provisions for possession of crack cocaine impose a mandatory prison term of not less than five years but not more than 20 years and a minimum fine of $1,000, or both, if:

a. it is a first conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 5 grams; 
b. it is a second conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 3 grams; 
c. it is a third or subsequent crack conviction and the amount exceeds 1 gram.

Civil penalties of up to $10,000 may also be imposed for possession of small amounts of controlled substances, whether or not criminal prosecution is pursued. Special sentencing provisions for possession of Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol, "roofies" or "roaches") impose a prison term of not more than 3 years, a fine up to $5,000, or both.

All students at 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 are an important part of the campus community and must abide by the policies of the Student Code of Conduct. These policies prohibit the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol under local, state, and federal laws. Students will be held accountable for their behavior if found responsible for violating any standards of conduct per the policies in the Student Code of Conduct.

The policies within the Student Code of Conduct will apply to student behavior that occurs on College property and at College-sponsored events and activities. These policies will also apply to violations of the conduct code that occur off campus, which includes alleged violations of local, state, and federal law. When a student is involved with an off-campus alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct, the Student Conduct Officer will determine whether the student will be subject to the discipline process outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. When a student is charged with a violation of federal, state, or local law, and college disciplinary action is also taken, campus proceedings may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings.

Each student is responsible for their conduct from the time of enrollment through their severance of a relationship with the College (e.g. the actual awarding of a degree or certificate). For more information regarding the jurisdiction of the College’s discipline process, please refer to the Student Code of Conduct link above.
