With three exceptions, public consumption of alcoholic beverages in CIA-owned and operated facilities and properties is strictly prohibited. The exceptions are as follows: when consumption is part of the course within the classroom, during specifically approved college functions, and in the CIA’s public restaurants and cafés. The legal drinking age in New York State and laws governing the sale and service of alcoholic beverages are observed at all CIA campus locations.
The Substance Abuse Awareness Committee, comprised of CIA faculty, administrators, and students, meets regularly to review campus-wide rules for alcohol consumption.
The possession, solicitation, sale and /or use of illegal drugs is unconditionally prohibited. Violations may result in dismissal.
