Marijuana and Cannabis Use Policy

The use, possession, or cultivation of marijuana or cannabis for medical purposes is strictly prohibited in any 窪蹋勛圖厙 housing or on any 窪蹋勛圖厙 property, including college-sponsored events or activities off-campus.

Students' use of marijuana (or any other drug) on college premises is prohibited and subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, students may face civil or criminal penalties for the unlawful possession, use, or sale of marijuana under New York State law.

While recent updates to New York State law have decriminalized small amounts of marijuana for individuals over 21 years of age and permit the use of medical marijuana, 窪蹋勛圖厙 maintains a strict policy prohibiting marijuana use on campus. Students with valid medical marijuana prescriptions may petition the College to waive the requirement to live on campus (i.e., to petition to live off-campus).

Its important to note that federal law, including the Controlled Substances Act and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, prohibits marijuana use, possession, and/or cultivation at educational institutions and on the premises of recipients of federal funds. Therefore, even students with medical marijuana prescriptions will not be allowed to possess or use marijuana on the 窪蹋勛圖厙 campus.
