Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP)

Exterior of Waldner Performing Arts Center.

York College recognizes the serious effects of alcohol and other drug abuse on the performance and wellbeing of its students, faculty, and staff. The college administration requires that all members of the campus community comply with local and federal laws, including those that govern use of alcohol and other drugs.

To promote this compliance and to support a healthy campus culture, the College has implemented a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP) that is designed to be comprehensive while addressing the needs of each population within the institution by articulating standards of conduct, legal, and institutional sanctions for violations, health risks associated with alcohol and other drug abuse, and available resources such as counseling and treatment. 

At the beginning of each academic year, the College will distribute its DAAPP to all members of the campus community via email. In addition, community members will receive notification of the College’s alcohol and other drugs policies via handbooks, as described below.

As we embark on a new academic year, we want to remind you of some important policies that contribute to a safe and healthy environment on campus and the resources available to support you.

To foster a safe and healthy campus community, York College has established comprehensive Alcohol and Other Drug policies.  These guidelines are designed to assist you in making informed decisions regarding alcohol and other substances and to provide crucial information about the resources available for addressing related issues. These policies are detailed in the faculty manual and the administrator and staff handbooks and can also be accessed on our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP) webpage: DAAP Webpage.  

York College of Pennsylvania adheres to the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations by annually informing all community members about our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP). The DAAPP outlines the College's policies on alcohol and other drugs, which every community member is expected to understand and follow. Additionally, our biennial review will be made available on the DAAPP webpage.

We encourage you to take advantage of these resources, and we look forward to a healthy and safe year ahead.
