Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD)

Campus Policies

Fresno State is committed to providing a safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment for students and employees. In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989, the University understands the importance of keeping the campus community informed annually as to available resources and support. These resources are outlined in the Fresno State Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program (DAAPP) document. We want to ensure the health, safety and security of our campus community by increasing awareness, preventing abuse, and decreasing potential drug and alcohol related crimes.

Each member of our community has a personal responsibility to provide the most immediate support for our students who abuse alcohol. This responsibility comes in many forms-by providing personal support and understanding, by facilitating a referral, by reacting appropriately in the face of an emergency, and through other ways demonstrative of a caring and professional campus community.

These general guidelines provide helpful information for response to alcohol emergencies such as an unconscious student or a student with symptoms of alcohol poisoning. Also included is information that addresses working with minors, confronting a student who is intoxicated, and other significant situations that you might encounter.

These guidelines are intended to serve as a reference as each campus formulates and develops individual campus procedures in coordination health, law enforcement, and legal departments. A special Reference section (p. 6) allows readers a quick view of special sections of the CSU Alcohol Policy.
