UCLA is designated as a drug-free environment, and only under certain conditions is alcohol consumption permitted. In keeping with its educational mission, the University assumes the responsibility to better inform the UCLA community about alcohol and substance abuse.

The sale, manufacture, distribution, or possession of designated controlled substances without a prescription is illegal under both state and federal laws. Such laws are strictly enforced by UCPD police officers. Student violators are subject to University disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, fine, and imprisonment. Refer to the UCLA policies on substance abuse for further information.

The sale, consumption, and distribution of alcohol on the UCLA campus is restricted by the UCLA alcohol policy and California state law. Organizations or groups violating alcohol or substance policies or laws may be subject to sanctions by the University.
