Consequences of Use of Controlled Substances and Misuse of Alcohol

Students with unsatisfactory results will not be accepted at the affiliate clinical, internship, practicum, or externship site and will not be allowed to continue in the course or program at Oconee Fall Line Technical College.

Failure to follow the OFTC Drug Testing and Criminal Background Check Procedure will result in dismissal from the affiliate clinical/practicum site and dismissal from the program for one semester. It is the procedure of Oconee Fall Line Technical College that any student who is currently registered in an allied health clinical course and who violates any of the provisions set forth in this procedure will be administratively withdrawn from current occupational courses with a grade of “W." or "F", based on when in the semester the violation occurs. However, the student may continue to be enrolled in a general education or core allied health course during the term that he/she is tested.
