Biennial Review
Every two years the college will conduct an extensive review of its drug and alcohol prevention programs to determine the effectiveness and consistency of sanction enforcement, in order to identify any areas in need of change. The in-depth review also includes program activities and an evaluation of their effectiveness, goals and outcomes, policies, and strengths and weaknesses of the prevention programs. Copies of the report are to be distributed to all students and employees.
