Alcohol and Substance Abuse Policy Your continued enrollment in the Commercial Truck Driving program at Chattahoochee Technical College is dependent upon your adherence to our Drug and Alcohol policy. You will receive and sign a copy of the Drug and Alcohol policy on the first day of class. Chattahoochee Technical College’s Commercial Truck Driving Program is committed to providing a safe environment and fostering the wellbeing and health of its students, faculty, and employees. That commitment is jeopardized when anyone in our program illegally uses drugs or CBD products not prescribed by a physician, comes to school under their influence, possesses, distributes or sells drugs, any CBD product, or abuses alcohol while enrolled at Chattahoochee Technical College. CBD products are prohibited due to false positive drug testing results. Pre-employment testing is conducted upon receipt of the Commercial Learner’s Permit, at the expense of the student, at the completion of CTDL 1010. Random testing is conducted without individualized suspicion of a violation of the school’s substance abuse policy. A refusal will be considered a positive result. Selection is made by neutral criteria so that all students eligible for testing have an equal opportunity of being tested. Failure to follow the policies contained herein will result in disciplinary action up to and including failure, withdrawal from the program, and possible legal action. It is the policy of Chattahoochee Technical College that any student who violates any of the provisions set forth in our policy will receive a grade of F for the Commercial Truck Driving Program and not be allowed to return to the CTDL Program at Chattahoochee Technical College. Students will be permitted to return after completion of a DOT certified drug treatment program. The cost of treatment will be at the expense of the student. Any student who receives a positive drug and/or alcohol test result while enrolled in the program will be formally reported to the Technical College System of Georgia and prohibited from enrolling in Commercial Truck Driving programs associated with the Technical College System of Georgia. Violators will also be referred to other entities as specified by FMCSA regulations and the Clearinghouse.
