Important Policy Related to Short-Term International Programs - Alcohol and Drug Policy

Students participating in JMU's international programs are bound by all tenets of the JMU Honor and Judicial Systems. They are subject to all regulations in place on the JMU campus that pertain to every student enrolled in university-sponsored educational programs. Laws regarding alcohol and drug use are substantially different in other countries. If any student is observed in an intoxicated state and if that student's actions are deemed abusive by the PD or other program representatives in authority, the student is subject to disciplinary actions which may include suspension from the program and return to the U.S. with pro-rated refund of tuition, room, and board and program supplement. As with all honor or judicial cases, the student has the right of appeal. The ED for International Programs will serve as the appellate officer in all such cases.
