The illegal use of drugs at Gonzaga University is not tolerated.  This includes the abuse and medically unsupervised use of prescription drugs.  Disciplinary action will be taken against any student who is involved in such use of drugs.  Documented violations of illegal possession, consumption, provision, or sale of narcotics or drugs, or possession of paraphernalia, may result in disciplinary sanctions from the University and/or referral to law enforcement officials. 

The unlawful manufacturing, possessing, having under control, selling, transmitting, using, or being party thereto of any dangerous drug, controlled substance, or drug paraphernalia on University premises or at University sponsored activities is prohibited.  Drug paraphernalia, particularly containing drug residue, may be considered evidence of drug use.
