Use and Abuse of Alcohol and Illicit Drugs, Including Marijuana
Wytheville Community College seeks to provide a safe and stable learning environment for its students. As a part of that effort, the college fully complies with all state and federal statutes relating to substance and alcohol use and abuse. The college is designated a drug-free zone and provides educational programs about the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol.
The college’s drug prevention program has been established in compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 (Public Law 101-226). Marijuana/Cannabis: Virginia law permits adults aged 21 or older to possess, use, and grow marijuana under certain circumstances; however, federal law continues to prohibit it and requires institutions of higher education that receive federal funds, including financial aid, to have policies prohibiting marijuana on campus property or at campus-sponsored off-campus events. Students and employees of Wytheville Community College shall not possess, sell, use, manufacture, give away or otherwise distribute illegal substances while on campus, attending a college sponsored off-campus event, or while serving as a representative of the college at off-campus meetings. Individuals who violate this policy shall have college charges processed against them in accordance with the student conduct or human resources procedures governing such violations. In addition, the college reserves the right to notify the appropriate law enforcement agencies for investigation and, if warranted, charges pressed against them.
In addition, WCC and/or any agency providing school sanctioned, off-campus learning and/or clinical experiences for students may require drug and/or alcohol testing prior to student placement or during a learning experience if documented behavior suggesting drug and/or alcohol abuse is exhibited.
Tobacco and Related Products
Smoking is defined as any product or apparatus (such as an electronic or e-cigarette) that emits smoke or is designed to simulate smoking cigarettes or any other tobacco product. At this time, smoking is allowed in certain designated areas. In situations where there is no designated area, the smoker should be 25 feet from the closest building.
The use of tobacco products is not permitted inside any WCC building on the Wytheville Campus and at off-site locations at the Crossroads Institute and WCC at the Henderson. The college will continue to offer prevention information for all drugs to promote healthy living.

In commemoration of the Sept. 17, 1787, signing of the Constitution a Congressional initiative requires that educational institutions receiving federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education “shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution.” (PL 108-447, “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005,” Dec. 8, 2004; 118 Stat. 2809, 3344-45 (Sec.111).
To accomplish this, WCC:
Provides information and events related to the Constitution each year
Developed this website to serve as a 24-hour resource for students using informational tools including sources recommended by the U.S. Department of Education [Federal Register: May 24, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 99)].
HB (House Bill) 886 was adopted during the regular sessions of the General Assembly in 2014. The bill requires SCHEV to disseminate to each public high school and each institution of higher education in the Commonwealth for which the Council has student-level data a link on its website to certain published postsecondary education and employment data. Further, it requires each institution of higher education to provide the link and each local school board to provide annual notice on its website to each enrolled high school student and his parents about the availability of such data.
Students and prospective students may find the information resources of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) of use in planning for college and careers. SCHEV has created an institutional profile for each Virginia public college and university, and for each independent college or university participating in the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant Program. Our SCHEV profile is available here.

Educational Information refers to any record maintained by an educational institution, including files, documents, and materials of any type which contain information directly related to students, and which allows a student to be identified.
