What happens if my drug screen comes back positive?

Students are required to provide proof of a negative drug screen as a compliance requirement. A drug screen yielding a presumptive positive test result causes a student to be disqualified from participating in any clinical or field experience which will lead to a student being assigned an overall failing grade in the course. If the positive test result is due to a legally prescribed medication, it becomes the responsibility of the student to provide documentation of the prescription, and if necessary, undergo an enhanced version of the drug test at the student’s own expense. If a Presumptive Positive result is obtained on a drug screen, the student or candidate for enrollment is responsible for contacting the agency which completed the initial drug screen to seek official clearance. It is the student's responsibility to bear all costs associated with obtaining a more definitive test result or securing an explanation from a qualified Medical Review Officer (MRO) from the testing organization.
