Alcohol Overdose and Alcohol-Related Emergency Protocol

Make the Call, 9-1-1

The University of Minnesota Duluth values the safety and well-being of their students and has implemented an alcohol-related emergency protocol. Alcohol overdose can be life threatening, and students are expected to take responsible action to obtain medical assistance for those in need. The following information relates to this protocol:

1. Students will be educated on the symptoms and severity of alcohol overdose and encouraged to call 911 when an alcohol overdose is suspected. UMD students will be involved in the development, implementation, and evaluation of this education.
2. Law enforcement will retain the right to exercise their discretion based on the totality of the circumstances. The focus of authorities responding to an alcohol-related incident will be to provide care for the incapacitated student. The incapacitated student will be required to complete a chemical dependency assessment and a wellness check.
3. The caller's responsible action will be taken into consideration when determining what actions, if any, are taken through the university disciplinary process.
4. Alcohol-related emergency cases will be referred to the Student Behavior Management Committee for review and recommendations as appropriate.
