College Alcohol and Drug Policy

By enrolling at NMC, students acknowledge and agree to the following:

• It is a violation of the Drug and Alcohol Policy for students to consume or possess alcoholic beverages, illicit/illegal drugs, or other mind-altering substances on campus.
• Student possession or consumption of alcohol on NMC premises or property or at any college-sponsored event shall constitute misconduct. A college-sponsored event is any gathering where students are in attendance that is planned for or by students and endorsed by the College.
• Misconduct constitutes a student attending class, clinical, laboratory sessions, practicum or college sponsored or approved events while impaired by alcohol, drugs (illegal or prescribed) or other mind altering substance.
• Any student or student organization which violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action which may include immediate dismissal from the College.
• The manufacture, sale, possession, distribution or use of illegal drugs is prohibited.

Stress Check: Signs of a Problem

Excessive stress can sneak up on students over time, and they may not notice it until they begin to experience its physical or emotional effects. Too much stress can lead to unhealthy and potentially serious physical and emotional consequences.
