Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2024–2025 129 dispensation, possession or use of cannabidiol (CBD) derived from unlawful marijuana is also prohibited by the ACON. Students should be aware that some CBD products may contain unlawful tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or THC levels that are higher than what is advertised. Therefore, the consumption or use of CBD products may result in unanticipated THC-positive drug screenings. In accordance with this policy, if a student tests positive for THC on a drug screening, the student will be referred to the CSP for disciplinary action, which may include expulsion/dismissal from the student’s program and the ACON. If a student reports to the academic program for help with a personal drug or alcohol concern prior to being informed of an impending drug test, the student will be required to report to the program director for referral to the NSU Student Assistance Program. This office is located on the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, in the Student Affairs Building (3rd floor). For the regional campuses, students are able to have virtual appointments. The student will only be permitted to report to class or a rotation/clinical experience if cleared by the NSU Student Assistance Program and the associate dean/designee of the ACON. Disclosures of drug/alcohol screening results may also be made to Intervention Project for Nurses (IPN) or the Board of Nursing, when appropriate. The ACON utilizes a third-party laboratory company to process drug and alcohol screening tests. The urine sample and/or specimen collected will be maintained by the laboratory company for a one-year period of time from the date it is received by the laboratory company, and then will be discarded. Requests for the urine sample must be made by the student directly to the laboratory company within this time frame. NSU is not responsible for the maintenance, production, or analysis of the urine sample and/or specimen for the presence of drugs or alcohol. The student pays for repeats. Behavioral and Academic Disciplinary Policies and Procedures Committee on Student Progress The ACON has a Committee on Student Progress (CSP). It is the CSP’s responsibility to conduct proceedings to examine the status of students who are experiencing academic problems or who have violated any regulation, policy, and/or professional or behavioral codes of conduct. The CSP examines individual cases and makes appropriate recommendations to the program director/designee. At the discretion of the academic program, violations of college or university conduct/behavioral policies may be referred to the NSU dean of students to be addressed under the conduct procedures detailed in the NSU Student Handbook. Records of dismissal, suspension, or leave of absence and the date of each determination shall be placed in the student’s permanent records. The CSP shall have nonexclusive authority to evaluate all alleged student violations of misconduct, whether academic, moral, professional, or ethical. Exceptions to this authority include, but are not limited to, the following:
