Illinois State University is well aware of the impact that alcohol and other drugs can have on the academic and social success of students. Illinois State is also cognizant of federal, state, and local laws with respect to the use and distribution of alcohol and drugs, and is committed to the enforcement of appropriate regulations.
The intervention plan used in the sanctioning process can best be described as a "harm reduction" approach. We seek to educate students on the potential impacts of their choices with respect to alcohol and drugs, while at the same time holding students highly accountable for their actions. As a result, students violating regulations regarding the possession, use, and/or distribution of alcohol and other drugs can expect to face serious disciplinary consequences for their actions.
The following are 2006-2007 guidelines for minimum disciplinary sanctions (pdf file):
E-CHUG was developed at San Diego State University, and is utilized by Illinois State University as the lowest-level of sanction intervention for alcohol offenses. There is no cost to students for this program, as it has been licensed through the use of student fine dollars.
The program was adapted from the work of W.R. Miller and colleagues at The Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addictions at the University of New Mexico.
Complete E-Chug
If you are completing E-Chug as the result of a sanction requirement, please be aware that the sanction is not complete until you have submitted a reflection paper answering the questions asked in your decision letter. In your response, you must also include the reference number provided by E-Chug when completing the assessment.

The alcohol class is a four hour workshop designed to serve as an educational intervention for those students demonstrating difficulty either in making appropriate decisions about using alcohol or making appropriate decisions while under the influence of alcohol. The program focuses on the impact of alcohol consumption on the human body, and assists students in understanding how dependency (i.e., alcoholism) develops. The program also allows students to determine their own risk for developing alcohol-related lifestyle problems.
