In an effort to more fully involve parents in critical issues impacting students, Auburn University will apply the following policy to notify parents or guardians of students involved in alcohol and drug incidents.
If a registered student under the age of 21 is involved in a University policy violation and/or violation of Alabama State Law for public intoxication, the possession, consumption or distribution of alcohol or illicit drugs, the student’s parents or guardian will be notified in writing of the incident by the Office of Dean of Students.
If a registered student is transported to an emergency medical treatment facility for drug use or alcohol intoxication, the student’s parents or guardians or other appropriate parties may be notified by the Office of Dean of Students or other University administrators if knowledge is necessary to protect the safety of the student or other individuals.
