Policy on Drugs and Alcohol

In compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, the University of New Haven prohibits the possession, manufacture, sale, distribution, and unlawful use/abuse of any and all controlled substances and drugs. The University of New Haven also abides by and enforces Connecticut state laws regarding alcohol which state that only persons 21 years of age or older may buy, deliver, consume, possess, or transport alcoholic beverages. Additionally, there are many other provisions of university policy that pertain to alcohol.

Please refer to the University Student Handbook for further details

Any person who believes that they are being harassed, victimized, or otherwise subjected to discrimination because of race, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or physical or mental disabilities, including learning disabilities, mental retardation, and past/present history of a mental disorder, or other similar characteristics, is encouraged to consult the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

The University of New Haven disciplinary bodies will investigate the motivation and intent in acts which injure persons or property and will consider enhanced sanctions when acts which involve harassment are found to be biased, discriminatory, or hate-driven.

Any member of the University community who believes that they have been subjected to sexual harassment may initiate a complaint, formal or informal, by contacting the university’s Affirmative Action Officer.
