The consequences for alcohol or drug violations on campus vary. Each college has its own rules, but generally, you may face disciplinary action from the university, such as probation, suspension or expulsion.
On the legal side, each state has its own laws. So, if you’re accused of drug or alcohol violations, you might end up being charged with fines or criminal charges, especially if you’re not 21 yet or holding something illegal. This type of violation will be mentioned in your academic record which may affect your future educational or employment opportunities. It’s advisable to reach out to an education attorney if you’re facing legal consequences. Universities often have a code of conduct that outlines these consequences in detail.
