Denver College of Nursing is a drug-free environment. The use, possession, or distribution of alcoholic beverages or illegal chemical substances on campus is prohibited. Upon enrollment, the student signs a statement indicating understanding of and intent to abide by DCN’s Drug Free Program.
A student who violates this policy will be dismissed from Denver College of Nursing without recourse and reported to local law enforcement.
Regarding the Drug and Alcohol Policy, DCN reserves the right to administer random drug testing and/or reasonable suspicion testing of its students. Students in violation of Denver College of Nursing’s Drug and Alcohol Policy will be dismissed and will not be eligible for readmission.
Random drug and alcohol testing may be done throughout the program. Failure to comply or the inability to provide a sample within one hour of the requested random drug/alcohol test may result in program dismissal. A dilute or insufficient sample result on a random drug screen will be considered a positive result. The consequence of a positive result means the student shall be subject to disciplinary action which may include being dropped from the program as per the Nursing Substance Abuse and Drug Screening policy.
