Creating a Safe, Healthy and Drug-Free Campus

The University of Dayton strives to provide a safe, healthy and drug-free campus environment for students, faculty and staff.

The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act requires higher education institutions that accept federal funding to have a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program (DAAPP) to prevent the unlawful use, possession, or distribution of drugs and alcohol on campus or during school-related activities.

Federal law requires universities to annually provide students and employees with information about alcohol and other drug issues. The University of Dayton distributes this document by annual email notification to students, faculty and staff. View this year's notification (.pdf).

Every other year, the University conducts a biennial review including a review of the DAAPP to determine its effectiveness and implement changes, if needed.
