3 Page 3 of 12 I. SCOPE: This policy applies to all National University Polytechnic Institute and employees regardless of classification or position, and all NUPI students regardless of enrollment status. Maintaining a safe and healthful working and learning environment is a vital concern of NUPI. As a company, NUPI depends on the health and productivity of its employees; therefore it is our obligation and intent to maintain a drug-free workplace. NUPI has a policy of zero tolerance to the abuse of controlled substances. We are committed to taking actions necessary to create an environment that fosters safe and healthful attitudes. Because of the unique nature of training conducted at NUPI, the safety concerns and health risks associated with alcohol and other controlled substance use are significantly increased. II. POLICY: In recognition of our previously stated commitment, and through federal, state and local mandates, the manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, possession, or use of a controlled substance, whether alcohol, illegal drugs, or legal drugs used illegally, is prohibited on NUPI premises. Being under the influence of controlled substances while on NUPI premises is also prohibited. Only those prescription medications provided under a licensed physician s signature and supervised by a physician, and over-the counter medications used as instructed by the manufacturer can be used on school premises. However, because of the nature of the hyperbaric environment of some of NUPI s programs, hyperbaric training cannot take place while under the influence of certain controlled substances, whether used legally or illegally. NUPI will rely on the advice of its medical advisors as to which controlled substances cannot be used during training. III. PROCEDURE: Definition of Terms ALCOHOL Any beverage that contains more than 0.5% alcohol by volume. NUPI PREMISES NUPI campuses including buildings, open spaces, vehicles, off-campus property, and off-campus NUPI-sponsored or NUPI-related functions/activities. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE Any federally regulated substance including alcohol, but not including nicotine and common over-the counter medication such as aspirin. DRUG Any illegal drug or a legal drug used illegally. ILLEGAL DRUG Any such drug as defined by local, state, and federal statutes.
4 Page 4 of 12 LEGAL DRUG prescription and over-the-counter medications used in accordance with the purpose for which they were prescribed or manufactured. POSSESSION Controlled substances in any amount found on the person of the accused, or in or on property under his or her control while on NUPI premises. USE Any employee or student who is affected by a controlled substance in a detectable manner as determined by professional opinion, valid test, or, in some cases such as alcohol, by a layperson. Penalties Penalties for violation of NUPI alcohol, drug and substance abuse policy are as follows: Possession of Alcohol Any individual who enters NUPI premises, including buildings, open spaces, and vehicles, with an alcoholic beverage of any amount in his or her possession whether it be carried in hand or in a privately or school owned vehicle, is subject to a minimum action of disciplinary probation if he or she is a student, or a written warning, if an employee. The beverage will be confiscated. Administrative personnel will dispose of the beverage in the presence of a third party witness. If the individual is under legal age for possession of alcohol, the individual and the substance may be turned over to the police. A second offense will result in termination of an employee or the expulsion of a student, or required assessment and treatment for alcohol abuse, which will be at the offender s expense. If the person is of legal age, the beverage will be confiscated. Photographs will be taken as part of the documentation procedures. Administrative personnel in the presence of a third party witness will dispose of the beverage. If the person is under legal age, the beverage and the individual will be turned over to the police. Possession of Illegal Drugs Any individual, whether employee or student, who enters NUPI premises and is clearly under the influence of alcohol and/or a controlled substance can be subject to expulsion if a student, or if an employee, termination of employment. At the very least, the student will be placed on probation and the employee will receive a written warning. NUPI administration has the right to require that an evaluation be made. In certain cases, based upon that evaluation, NUPI administration may require that an employee or a student receive the appropriate treatment. Nothing in this section shall require NUPI to provide insurance coverage for such treatment for either employees or students. A second offense will warrant termination of employment if an employee, or expulsion if a student, and permanent removal from the school grounds. If necessary, police will be called to remove the offender from campus. In all cases, the President will be notified and will make full disciplinary determination. Arrest / Conviction
5 Page 5 of 12 Any employee or student who is arrested and/or convicted of an on-campus violation of a controlled substances statute, whether local, state, or federal is required to report each violation to the appropriate school administrator within five days. The President will be notified and make full final disciplinary determination. Prescribed Medications Any student or staff member who is using a prescribed drug must report that usage to his or her instructor or supervisor. Removal to Administrator s Office Procedure Any student who presents reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol use, or who is clearly in possession, will be asked immediately to report to the administrator in charge of the campus or his or her designee. An employee will be required to immediately report to his or her supervisor for questioning. If the individual refuses to cooperate, the police may be called. Questioning Questioning will remain pertinent to and be confined by this policy. Such questions will include, but not be limited to whether alcohol, drugs or a controlled substance has been used, how much has been used, at what time and under what circumstances. Searches The accused will be asked to consent to searches of their personal property, such as bags, tool boxes, brief cases, diving bags or vehicles. The accused will be asked to turn his or her pockets, and to open concealing clothing such as jackets. At no time will NUPI staff members touch the accused for the purposes of search. NUPI retains the right to search NUPI property such as desks and lockers. If there is any suspicion of illegal drug usage or possession, police may be called. Confiscation All illegal substances will be confiscated and turned over to the police. If an underage student is found with alcohol, both the student and beverage may be turned over to the police. For legal age adults, photographs of the beverage container will be taken as part of documentation procedures. The beverage will then be poured out in the presence of a third party witness. If items confiscated from legal adults include such things as kegs or taps, which require a deposit in order to be obtained, they may be reclaimed for return after disciplinary proceedings are complete. Such items will be under the control of the employee s supervisor or the Vice President of Academics if a student is involved. Witness
6 Page 6 of 12 An independent witness, as designated by administrative personnel, will document all proceedings, including answers to questions, search results, behaviors, confiscated materials and disposition. Other students and/or staff may be asked to provide written statements describing their observations of the incident. Random Drug Testing The risks posed by commercial diving activities, especially when conducted by students who are not yet trained professionals, are serious. NUPI will provide for the selection of students for chemical testing for illicit drugs on a random basis. Random selection means that every student of a given population has a substantially equal chance of selection. Costs for random drug testing will be borne by NUPI. Students selected for random testing will be summoned to a described location where a contracted medical agency will collect samples for testing. Test results are usually available within 2-3 working days. Disclosure of test results will be on a strict, need-to-know basis. Individuals who test positive will be removed from active enrollment until such time as that individual provides documentation that he or she has successfully completed a bona fide medical rehabilitation program. Costs for rehabilitation will be borne by the individual. Reasonable Cause Testing Any student or employee who is reasonably suspected of using drugs or alcohol may be required to undergo a drug/alcohol test. The decision to test will be based on a reasonable and articulate belief that the individual has used a dangerous drug or alcohol based on direct observation of specific contemporaneous physical, behavioral, or performance indicators of probable use. Where practicable, this belief will be based on observation of the individual by two or more responsible persons. Costs for reasonable cause testing will be borne by NUPI. Students selected for reasonable cause testing will be summoned to a described location where a contracted medical agency will collect samples for testing. Test results are usually available within 2-3 working days. Disclosure of test results will be on a strict, need-to-know basis. Individuals who test positive will be removed from active enrollment until such time as that individual provides documentation that he or she has successfully completed a bona fide medical rehabilitation program. Costs for rehabilitation will be borne by the individual. Exiting the Premises After questioning and search the offender may be required to leave the premises. If there is ANY question about the person s ability to drive, whether or not that person is under the influence of a drug or alcohol, police and/or medical assistance will be called. If any individual is so affected that he or she cannot communicate effectively, police will be notified. A search will still be conducted, except of the offender. Questioning will occur after the offender is able to present him/herself in a sober condition. Return to the campus will be only with the President s approval.
7 Page 7 of 12 Health Risks Associated with the Use and Abuse of Drugs and Alcohol ALCOHOL Bloodstream: 95% of the alcohol taken into the body is absorbed into the bloodstream and through the lining of the stomach and duodenum. Alcohol causes a slowing of the circulation systems and deprives tissues of oxygen. Alcohol also slows the ability of white blood cells to engulf and destroy bacteria and the clotting ability of blood platelets. Brain: The most dramatic and noticed effect alcohol has is on the brain. It produces lack or coordination, confusion, disorientation, stupor, anesthesia, coma, and finally death. Heart: Alcohol causes inflammation of the heart muscle. Liver: Alcohol inflames and destroys the cells of the liver. This condition prevents bile from being properly filtered causing jaundice, a yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin. Mouth and Esophagus: Alcohol irritates the delicate linings of the throat and esophagus. That s why it causes a burning sensation as it goes down. Pancreas: Alcohol irritates the cells of the pancreas and can lead to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis. This condition can destroy the pancreas and results in a lack of insulin. Sex Glands: Swelling of the prostate gland caused by alcohol interferes with the ability of the male to perform sexually. It also interferes with the ability of the male and female to climax during intercourse. Stomach and Intestines: Alcohol also irritates the stomach s protective lining and can result in gastric or duodenal ulcers. In the small intestine, alcohol blocks absorption of substances such as thiamine, folic acid, xylose, fat, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, and amino acids. Urinary Bladder and Kidneys: Alcohol inflames the lining of the urinary bladder. In the kidneys, alcohol causes an increased loss of fluids through its irritating effect. MARIJUANA Bladder and Kidneys: Concentration of tars, carcinogens and chemicals from marijuana in the kidneys and bladder is associated with cancers in these organs. Brain and Central Nervous System: Marijuana use causes the synoptic cleft to enlarge, which may result in impairment of speech, comprehension, memory and sleep. Bronchials and Lungs: Marijuana is a respiratory irritant that causes sore throats and chronic coughs.
8 Page 8 of 12 Eyes and Skin: Marijuana smokers may have inflamed watery eyes, and develops wrinkled skin due to irritants present in smoke. Heart: Smoking one marijuana joint may cause increases in heart rate and blood pressure by as much as 50% Mouth, Larynx, Esophagus: Marijuana contains 50% more tar than tobacco and 400 other identified chemicals. Using 3-5 marijuana joints a week equals smoking 16 cigarettes daily. Smoking is associated with gum disease, loss of teeth, and cancer of the cheeks gums, palate, tongue, lips, larynx and esophagus. Reproduction: The gonads are high fat organs that absorb and hold more THC than most other cells of the body. Males can experience lowered testosterone levels, which are essential for the development of secondary male characteristics. Users can also experience impotency and infertility. Females can experience infertility, pregnancy complications, and changes in sexual characteristics. NICOTINE Brain: Nicotine constricts blood vessels and restricts oxygen supply, which affects brain function. A combination of high blood pressure and smoking is associated with stroke, the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Bronchials and Lungs: Smoking causes the lungs and bronchials to become inflamed and congested and predisposes smokers to emphysema. Emphysema is a stretching and breaking of the tiny air sacs of the lungs, which makes them useless for breathing. Smokers are ten times more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers. Mouth, Larynx and Esophagus: Smokers have three times as many cavities and lose their teeth three times more often than non-smokers. Tobacco, whether smoked or chewed, is the leading cause of cancers of the cheeks, gums, palate, tongue and lips. One pack of cigarettes smoked a day increases the chance of cancer of the esophagus by as much as 500%. Pancreas, Bladder and Kidneys: Carcinogens absorbed from tobacco smoke and smokeless tobacco are concentrated and excreted in the urine. Consequently, the bladder and kidneys are in constant contact with these substances. Smokers have a 50% greater rate of kidney cancer, three times the risk of bladder cancer, and a 100% increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Reproduction: Babies born to women who smoke are lighter and smaller than those born to non-smokers. This is important because birth weight is a predictor of infant health. Smoking can contribute to infertility in women. Women who take birth control pills and who smoke, run a greater risk of cancer. Stomach and Heart: Nicotine constricts the small arteries. This can cause an insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart and cause heart attacks. Nicotine causes secretion of excessive amounts of gastric acids and delays healing of ulcers. Twice as many smokers experience peptic ulcers as non-smokers. COCAINE/CRACK
9 Page 9 of 12 Brain and Central Nervous System: Cocaine stimulates the CNS, which can result in restlessness, tremors, or convulsions. It alters the normal electrical activity of the brain, which can result in seizures similar to epilepsy. Cocaine can contribute to strokes through the increase of blood pressure causing blood vessels to rupture in the brain. It affects the reward centers in the brain by triggering an intense craving for more of the drug. Eyes: Cocaine users have increased sensitivity to light because of pupil dilation, may see fuzzily or see floaters, and may have double vision or image distortion. Gastrointestinal System: Cocaine can cause inflammation and breakdown of small and medium arteries. It is also a natural laxative and diuretic. Heart: Cocaine increases blood pressure and heart rate by constricting the arteries. In some users, this can cause a heart attack. It can also interfere with the pumping action of the heart and cause irregular heart beat. Nose and Mouth: Cocaine numbs the nerve endings upon contact. As the drug wears off, it causes stuffiness and the nasal membranes become tender, inflamed, and dry out. Sinus headaches can also result. Reproduction: Cocaine may cause miscarriages, stillbirth, premature labor, or premature delivery. Cocaine crosses through the placenta; consequently the baby may be born addicted. It may also cause malformed kidneys and genitals, and increase the risk of seizures and crib death (sudden infant death syndrome). Cocaine can also be passed to babies through breast milk. Respiratory System: Cocaine can cause breathing rate to increase, and may cause or contribute to respiratory failure. AMPHETAMINE/METHAMPHETAMINE/SPEED/ICE/CRYSTAL Central Nervous System: Speed can cause insomnia and extended wakefulness, teeth grinding, nervous ticks, dizziness, numbness in the hands and/or feet, depletion of dopamine in the nerve cells, and the possibility of burning out nerve endings. Eyes: speed dilates the pupils and can cause blurred vision. Gastrointestinal System: Speed contributes to extreme weight loss (through appetite suppression and associated poor health habits), vitamin deficiencies, and ulcers. General Systemic Effects: Speed can damage the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and liver; it lowers the resistance to disease; can cause increased or excessive perspiration; and affects the body s temperature regulating system. Heart: Speed can cause palpitations (increased heart rate), high blood pressure and heart attacks. Nose and Mouth: Speed causes itchy nose, dry mouth and bad breath.
10 Page 10 of 12 Reproduction: Speed used by pregnant women can cause poorly developed brain stem in the infant, which contributes to or may cause crib death. It increases the possibility of preterm labor and postpartum hemorrhage. It contributes to smaller than normal babies, feeding difficulties, slower development and decreased alertness in infants. Skin: Speed can cause hives, severe acne, skin sores and general flushing. Resources and Help Lines There are numerous hospitals which offer treatment, counseling and rehabilitation assistance.

Applicable Legal Sanctions Various statutes of the State of California and regulations of the California Liquor Enforcement Code, as well as federal regulations govern the acquisition, possession, transportation and consumption of alcoholic
12 Page 12 of 12 beverages. These statutes and regulations are in full legal force and effect on this NUPI campus, and they apply to the conduct of NUPI functions occurring both on and off campus. All persons and organizations are subject to these guidelines and regulations, and are responsible for knowledge of the statutes and regulations of California. Applicable laws are available for examination in the Liquor Enforcement Division of the Department of Revenue, the Division of Highway Safety offices. Important legal provisions include the following: 1. The legal drinking age in all 50 states is 21 years of age. 2. It is illegal to furnish or serve alcoholic beverages to any person under State of California law prohibits carrying or consuming alcoholic beverages in open containers while operating a motor vehicle, regardless of a person s age. 4. No group, which is not licenses by the Liquor Enforcement Division of Revenue, may sell alcoholic beverages. 5. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have per se laws defining it as a crime to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above a proscribed level, usually 0.08 percent. 6. It is also illegal to drive under the influence of legal drugs if they impair a person s ability to operate a motor vehicle. Alcohol and drunk driving offenders in California are subject to the authority of two separate governing systems. The court handles the legal or criminal aspects of the case, and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) handles the administrative of civil aspects of the case. Under the revised federal sentencing guidelines, federal courts can sentence simple-possession first offenders to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. Penalties for subsequent convictions are significantly greater [21 U.S.C. 844(a)]. A sentence to life imprisonment can result from a conviction for possession of a controlled substance that results in death or bodily injury. Possession of more than five grams of cocaine can trigger an intent-to distribute penalty of ten to sixteen years in prison [U.S.S.G.S. 2D2.1(b)(1)]. Any person under twenty-one years of age may be punished by up to twice the term of imprisonment and fine otherwise authorized by law. Laws are subject to revision at any time; the information provided is a general guide only. III.
