Policy on Parental Notification for Alcohol and Drug Violations

Approved: August 2006

This policy applies to all students. The parental notification aspect applies only to students who are under 21 years old. Additionally, Holy Names University maintains a written record on contacts we make with parents/guardians of students who have been found to be in violation of the University’s policies on alcohol and /or drugs. Such records are available to students when they request access to them (see Policy on the Notification Policy of Rights under FERPA).

Holy Names University prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, dispensations' and/or use of alcohol, illicit drugs, controlled substances, and/or illegal drugs on property it owns or controls (See Policy and Information about Alcohol and Drugs).
