Please cooperate with security in providing this service and important function. Social Events and Extracurricular Activities All extracurricular activities by recognized organizations, on campus and off campus, must be approved in advance by that specific college’s Office of Student Affairs. A student or group of students may not officially represent the health college(s) or the university, on or off campus, at any time without prior authorization in written form. All events sponsored by student body groups must receive prior approval from the specific college’s Office of Student Affairs/Office of Student Activities designee and faculty advisers affiliated with the group. Requests for permission for speakers, student meetings, and other activities on campus should be made on the student activities request form at least two weeks in advance. The specific college’s Office of Student Affairs/Office of Student Activities must approve activities before the manager of events and academic support systems can assign a room, and no meeting announcements may be made until approval is received. At that time, a specific room will be assigned for the function. No announcements can be posted unless authorization is given. Student Assistance Program As a condition of enrollment in health college programs at NSU, all students agree to abide by university standards concerning 1) Drug-Free Schools and Campuses and 2) Drug Policy. The Student Assistance Program is managed by the NSU dean of students, or designee, in conjunction with each Office of Student Affairs within the colleges. The objective of the Student Assistance Program is to assist students in need of substance abuse services to 1) protect the public welfare and 2) encourage those students to pursue a life of recovery so they may regain and maintain physical and psychological health, as well as academic success at NSU. Students enrolled in a health college/program, and in need of substance abuse services, are encouraged to voluntarily seek such assistance with their college’s Office of Student Affairs or directly with the NSU dean of students. The Student Assistance Program is a nondisciplinary student resource. However, in cases of suspected substance abuse, intoxication, influence, or impairment, students may be referred by their college to the Student Assistance Program for testing and assessment. Activities that may warrant referral to the Student Assistance Program include, but are not limited to • direct observation of drug or alcohol use or possession • physical behaviors related to the influence of drugs or alcohol • abnormal or erratic behavior that is disruptive or a risk to others • arrest or conviction of a drug- or alcohol-related offense on or off campus • documented information from a credible source submitting a complaint
