Counselling of students in intoxicant-related matters

You are not allowed to use intoxicants at JAMK campuses or be under the influence of intoxicants in learning situations. It is easier to manage everyday life situations and prepare for working life if you do not use alcohol or drugs. Non-use of intoxicants is also essential to professional growth.

JAMK University of Applied Sciences has prepared guidelines for situations where a student is under the influence of intoxicants at its campuses or in learning situations or where it is suspected that the use of intoxicants has become or is becoming a problem for the student in question.

The intoxicant problem is tackled immediately and the responsibility for dealing with the problem lies with all members of the JAMK community. Tackling the problem early on helps to create a safe learning environment, prevents health damage and exclusion and makes studying easier and the interruption or dragging on of studies less likely. Tackling the problem is a matter of caring, not a question of moralising or condemning the behaviour of the person concerned. The discussions about the matter are conducted in a confidential manner without violating the privacy of the student in question.
