Random Testing
Students enrolled in programs with required drug and alcohol testing will be subjected to random urine drug testing and breath alcohol testing throughout their enrollment in the program. After the pre-screen is conducted, the students’ names will be entered into a selection pool for random testing; the students’ names will remain in the pool while enrolled in the program. Random selection is done without bias and includes all persons whether previously tested or not. All students in the selection pool are subject to repeat testing.
Mitchell Tech has presently contracted with a private entity for random selection and testing. Random selections will be completed each quarter, and an appointed contact person within the College will be notified of the date for random testing. All random testing will be unannounced and reasonably spread throughout the year. Testing will be completed as soon as possible after the student is notified of a pending test. A student will never receive prior notice of the testing date and time. Any medical condition restricting the student’s ability to perform a urine drug test or breath alcohol test must be documented by a medical physician and recorded in that student’s file.
