糖心视频 encourages students to seek help for themselves or another student, both on and off campus. In situations where a student requests emergency medical assistance for themselves or another student due to the use of alcohol or other drugs, SCU will support this help-seeking behavior through the Medical Amnesty and Good Samaritan policies. Although there is not a limit to the number of times these policies can be utilized, the University may take additional action in cases where repeated violations of the Student Conduct Code occur, regardless of how the incident was reported.
Medical Amnesty
If a student is under the influence and receives emergency medical attention for the use of alcohol or other drugs (“substance use”), the student will not receive disciplinary sanctions related to their substance use; instead, the student will be required to meet with a University staff member to discuss the incident and to attend one or more Wellness Coaching* sessions. Sanctions may be applied if the student does not complete these requirements.
Good Samaritan
If a student or students seek emergency medical assistance on behalf of another student due to the use of alcohol or other drugs (“substance use”), they will be considered a Good Samaritan and will not receive sanctions related to their own substance use. The Good Samaritan(s) is expected to stay with the person they are calling on behalf of until help arrives and provide relevant information to the responding agencies as requested. The Good Samaritan(s) will be offered the opportunity to attend an optional Wellness Coaching* session.
In either case, assuming all involved parties cooperate fully with responding agencies, the University will not impose sanctions for violations of the Student Conduct Code directly related to the use or possession of alcohol or other drugs. The University may impose sanctions if the involved student(s) are found to be in violation of other policies as outlined in the Student Conduct Code such as violence, destruction of property, distribution of substances, or non-compliance. Students also may be responsible for restitution related to damage or cleaning charges resulting from the incident. Additionally, these policies do not exempt individuals from law enforcement or third-party civil actions.
*Wellness Coaching is a non-judgmental, supportive, and confidential service offered to students by the Wellness Center. Conversations are centered around reflecting on their experience in the precipitating incident, identifying areas for personal growth, and strategizing for positive behavior change. The details of Wellness Coaching sessions are not shared with other university staff members or administrators.
