Substance Use Prevention
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).

Fresh Start from Tobacco
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.
