Educational Services and Sanctions
Student Conduct is committed to student learning and development. In meeting with students, we may recommend or sanction appropriate educational or support services. Below are some examples of sanctions.
BASICS (Brief Alcohol and Other Drug Screening and Intervention for College Students)
The Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is a program offered by Counseling Services to help students evaluate their drinking behaviors. The BASICS program focuses on a harm reduction approach to motivate students to reduce alcohol use and the associated negative consequences of drinking.
The program consists of two (2) sessions with an Elizabethtown College staff counselor. The initial session focuses on recent alcohol consumption patterns, beliefs about alcohol, and drinking history. The final session reviews individualized negative consequences and risk factors, and engages students in making healthy decisions and positive changes in their drinking behaviors.
This service available for students who want to explore their use or abuse of substances. The program is designed so that students may examine behaviors in a judgment-free environment. Students may be assigned this sanction as part of an outcome in the student conduct process. Students may also elect to take this program. If a student is assigned BASICS, their student account will be billed $85.
Educational Projects
A student may be required to review a policy, watch a video, attend a program, or have a facilitated discussion with another staff member, and to write a reflection paper or create a presentation that reinforces an understanding of our policies and the community’s expectations, including how an incident affects the self and others.
