See the current Student Handbook for all college policies.
Franklin Cummings Tech maintains a supportive environment focused on teaching, learning, and therefore has a zero tolerance policy on the use, possession, or intent to distribute alcohol or controlled substances, including marijuana, on the Franklin Cummings Tech campus. Students have the responsibility of conducting themselves in a professional manner at all times. Using or being in the presence of someone using, possessing or having the intent to distribute alcohol or controlled substances is prohibited.
Although Massachusetts state law permits the use of medical marijuana, i.e., use by persons possessing lawfully issued medical marijuana cards; and recreational marijuana for those 21 years or older, universities are still subject to the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 which prohibits marijuana use, possession, and/or cultivation at educational institutions and on the premises of other recipients of 20 federal funds. Students should not attend any courses or activities, or be on the Franklin Cummings Tech premises while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, which includes marijuana.
Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct for specific violations of the Alcohol and Drug policies. For information regarding support with alcohol or drug use please visit: Health and Wellness resources web page
