Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 171 will be referred to the Student Progress Committee for further action, including the evaluation of potential violations of the KPCOM Code of Behavioral Conduct. Should a student have a valid prescription for the medication, it will be reviewed by KPCOM prior to making the decision to refer the matter to the Student Progress Committee. Please note that NSU’s Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Policy prohibits the use and possession of marijuana regardless of whether a valid prescription exists. * In the event of an inconclusive or diluted test result, the student will be required to submit to an additional urine drug screen within 24 hours of the inconclusive/diluted result. Should the repeat test be inconclusive and/or diluted, the student will be placed on an administrative break in enrollment until such time as they can present a negative drug and/or alcohol screen and will be referred to the Student Progress Committee for review and possible disciplinary action.
