(effective August 14, 2008)

This disclosure provides information on the California State University, Bakersfield compliance with Title 34 C.F.R 668.14 that requires notice to all students, faculty and employees concerning its drug and alcohol abuse prevention program.

This disclosure provides students upon enrollment a notice of the consequences of a drug conviction on their Title IV financial aid. Students subsequently convicted for a drug offense will lose their eligibility for federal financial assistance.

Students convicted of possession or sale of drugs

A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify you from receiving financial aid.

Convictions only count against your financial aid eligibility if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which you were receiving Title IV aid—they do not count against your aid eligibility if the offense(s) was not during such a period. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from your record does not count against your aid eligibility, nor does a conviction received when you were a juvenile, unless you were tried as an adult.

The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for financial aid, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession, and whether you had previous offenses. (A conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs.)

If you were convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, you will be ineligible for the longer period.

The information below describes the methods by which you may regain eligibility:

You regain aid eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when you successfully complete a qualified drug rehabilitation program. Further drug convictions will make you ineligible again.

If you are denied aid eligibility for an indefinite period due to drug conviction, you can regain eligibility only after successfully completing a rehabilitation program or if the conviction is reversed, set aside, or removed from your record so that fewer than two convictions for sale or three convictions for possession remain on the record. In such cases, the nature and dates of the remaining convictions will determine when you may regain eligibility. It is your responsibility to submit valid documentation to the CSUB Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships that certifies you have successfully completed a rehabilitation program.
