The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol on the campus of The Art Institute of New York City or in facilities controlled by The Art Institute of New York City are prohibited by college regulations and are incompatible with the school's goal of providing a healthy educational environment for students, faculty, staff and guests.

The school seeks to uphold local, state and federal laws to prevent the use of controlled substances and the abuse of alcohol, and will apply sanctions that could lead to a student being fined, suspended or expelled or an employee being disciplined, suspended or dismissed for violation of The Art Institute of New York City standards of conduct. Students and employees may also be referred for prosecution. Disciplinary sanctions may include the completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program at the student's or employee's expense, if necessary.

Please refer to the school catalog for more detailed information about the school's drug-free workplace and campus compliance.
