Substance Abuse Awareness Program (SAAP) |
| |
| The Program |
This is a Student Development model designed to teach the appropriate uses of alcohol using the methods of educational,
social norming, and judicial responsibilities.
|
| |
The program encompasses the entire student body; residents and nonresidents in the Aquinas College Community. To provide consistency; college sponsored academics, extracurricular activities, events, and projects are covered by the program.
The program is based on a proactive holistic approach. The development of the program is a collaborative partnership between Residence Life, Campus Safety, and Career and Counseling Services.
|
| |
| The implementation and process will include the partners listed above and various departments within the Aquinas College Community. |
| |
| SAAP Class |
| The SAAP class is a non-judgmental group, whose purpose is to educate about the risks of dangerous drinking habits. |
| |
| The goals of the SAAP program are education, assessment, and treatment. Although this group and the alcohol/drug assessments are a part of the policy violation for a student, it is not intended to be a punishment; but rather a consequence of one’s behavior that does not comply with the policies and the rules of the Aquinas College community and/or the laws of Michigan. Decisions regarding discipline sanctions could be in addition to a referral to the SAAP group or for an assessment. |
| |
| First Time Policy Violation |
| In addition to any other disciplinary actions taken, first time violators are referred to the SAAP group. This group is three hours in length. Enrollment may not be done by e-mail. Please enroll by calling
Dee Wagner at (616) 632-2171. Confirm the location at the time of enrollment. |
