The State of Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry website is https://appsdoc.wi.gov/public. The United States Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Registry website is https://www.nsopw.gov/.
Alcohol and Other Drug Policy and Procedures
CVTC is committed to maintaining a drug-free learning environment. The CVTC Board, administration, and staff recognize that the abuse of alcohol and other drugs interferes with a person’s ability to learn and retain new information and increases the risk of injuries and serious health problems. All drugs chemically influence a person’s motor skills, body function, and brain processes, interfering with judgment, perception, reaction time, and other skills necessary to produce a safe and effective learning environment.
The possession, use, sale, transfer, or purchase of alcohol or controlled substances on College property is strictly prohibited. This applies to all College sites and facilities including leased property and clinical sites. In addition, CVTC, consistent with state and federal law, prohibits the misuse (sharing, buying, or using in a manner difference than prescribed) of prescription drugs.
All students are prohibited from being under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances while on College property, while conducting College business, or while receiving instruction. “Under the influence of alcohol” means that the student manifests symptoms which the student from performing their educational exercises or participation in a College event or activity in a safe, efficient, and/or satisfactory manner; the student has a level of alcohol concentration in the blood or breath considered to be impaired under Wisconsin state law and/or qualified health care or laboratory professional; and/or as otherwise determined to be under the influence by a qualified health care or laboratory professional. Such symptoms may include, but not be limited to, misbehavior, odor of alcohol and/or impairment of physical or mental ability. In cases of students who are not 21 years of age, “under the influence of alcohol” includes the consumption of any alcohol (regardless of whether the person is otherwise impaired). “Under the influence of controlled substance” means the consumption of any controlled substance.
Students are expected to cooperate with Public Safety personnel if suspected of being in violation of this policy. Violations of this policy may be reported to local law enforcement as well as being the basis for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the College. This policy shall not apply to substances prescribed by a physician, ingredients in food preparation, or utilized as part of the Field Sobriety Testing Program.
The advertising of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on CVTC property and in College publications.
