Factors Relevant to Sanction or Corrective Action
NWTC will evaluate violations of this policy on a case-by-case basis. In determining the appropriate sanction or
corrective action, NWTC may consider an individual’s work or academic record, the seriousness of the violation,
the safety-sensitivity of the individual’s position, whether the individual’s behavior violated any other NWTC
policies, whether a sanction or corrective action is permissible under law including, without limitation, The
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreement, and
any other relevant factors.

VI. Drug or Alcohol Resources for Students
Resources for Students
NWTC recognizes drug or alcohol dependency or abuse as a major health problem as well as a safety and
security problem. A student in need of help in dealing with such a problem is encouraged to contact his or her
personal physician and to use the Student Services referral system, NWTC counselors, and other NWTC
services. A conscientious effort to seek help shall not, in itself, jeopardize any student’s enrollment.
VII. Student and Employee Complaints
Any student with a complaint relating to the application of this policy may seek redress through any applicable
NWTC complaint resolution policy and procedure.
VIII. Confidentiality
NWTC will ensure privacy and confidentiality under this Policy, as may be required by State or Federal law
including, but not limited to, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.
IX. Administrative Responsibility
