Drug and Alcohol Prevention

The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) and subsequent legislation require an institution of higher education to conduct a biennial program review of alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention programs to be eligible for federal funding or financial support. The Community College of Aurora (CCA) has performed a biennial review in all even years since October 2014* to maintain compliance.

Higher education institutions must additionally certify to the Secretary of Education the adoption and implementation of programs to prevent the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. In response, CCA has adopted and implemented programs and policies to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. This report serves as a biennial review of this programming and notification for 2018-2022.

*CCA combined biennial reports for 2020 and 2022 due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
