UTA is a community that cares about the well-being of its students, faculty, and staff, and as such, UTA continually strives to create and maintain a safe, secure, and supportive campus environment. As part of this effort, UTA prohibits the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATODs) on its campus and at campus-sponsored events, has developed an ATOD-prevention program, and strictly complies with the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act amendments of 1989 (DFSCA).
We empower students to make healthy and responsible choices concerning use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

As of August 1, 2011, UTA is a tobacco-free campus. In order to provide students, faculty, staff, and visitors with a healthy, welcoming learning environment, the University prohibits the use of all tobacco products — including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco—on campus property at all times. Violators will be subject to penalties detailed in the tobacco-free campus policy.
UTA is committed to providing students who wish to stop using tobacco products with the resources they need to transition to the campus policy. UTA offers tobacco cessation classes that are free for all students, staff, and faculty. The Fresh Start from Tobacco program consists of a series of four classes designed to educate and assist individuals who are ready to make a fresh start from tobacco use (including vaping and smokeless tobacco).
Facilitated by the Health Promotions department, the four one-hour educational sessions address tobacco addiction and cessation topics. These classes cover addiction, quitting, coping strategies, and receiving help. It is important to attend all four sessions. In addition, all participants are eligible for a limited supply of nicotine replacement therapy patches and gum. Students, staff, and faculty may register for classes by contacting health.promotion@uta.edu. Classes are available for students, faculty and staff.
