Violations include unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs (for example, marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, barbiturates, opiates, hallucinogens, etc.) by students or employees on or off campus. Students charged with drug-related offenses off campus must report the incident to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs within three class days.
Alcohol Policy
Alcoholic beverages may be served at events sponsored by USC Sumter on or off campus. No one will be served or allowed to consume alcoholic beverages who is under the age of twenty- one (21) or who appears to be intoxicated.
The Student Government Association of the University of South Carolina Sumter will determine the alcohol policy for USC Sumter student sponsored events, subject to approval by the Regional Campus Dean. Current policy prohibits the distribution and consumption of alcoholic beverages at student activities and programs.
Non-USC Sumter groups/organizations authorized by proper authority to use USC Sumter facilities may serve alcoholic beverages at specified events upon securing permission from the appropriate University official. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring individual or organization to ensure that the policies of the University of South Carolina and USC Sumter, and the laws of the State of South Carolina are enforced and complied with at events where alcoholic beverages are served and/or consumed.
Drug and Alcohol Dependence
University counseling for drug and alcohol dependence is available for students by referral for on-campus counseling or at local off-campus support facilities.
