# Drug Testing

All incoming students are required to undergo drug/alcohol screening. Subsequently, drug/alcohol testing may be requested of any student, at any time, including: 

* When concerns about substance use issues arise.
* When any student returns from a leave of any kind.
* When a student self-reports a problem. 

Failure to undergo testing as requested will result in dismissal from the school. A positive test will result in disciplinary action, which may include dismissal from the school.
