The Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees has adopted a policy and guidelines for the drug testing of student athletes. In accordance with this policy, Central Alabama Community College has instituted a program for drug testing and for the education of student athletes on the use and abuse of drugs. The stated purpose of this policy is to prevent illegal drug usage; to alert student athletes to serious physical, mental, and emotional harm caused by drug abuse; and to maintain an athletic environment consistent with the high standards of the College and with the overall development and education of our student athletes. To comply with the Alabama Community College Conference and the Alabama Community College System policy, each student athlete will be required to submit to drug testing prior to the beginning of each academic year. The cost of this test will be the responsibility of the individual player. After the initial drug testing, further testing of the student athlete will be conducted throughout the year at regular and random intervals, both announced and unannounced. The cost of random testing will be covered by the College. For further information on policy and procedures relating to this program, see the Central Alabama Community College Athletic Handbook.
