Alcohol Awareness
CSUDH is a drug free campus
All students should read our Statement on Drug-Free Schools and Communities. While we are required to inform students of the alcohol policies for the campus, we also think everyone should read this important statement.

Alcohol Awareness Coordinating Team (AACT)
In 2001, the California State University system instituted an alcohol policy which required each campus to develop an on-going alcohol awareness campaign. Alcohol Awareness Coordinating Team (AACT) was established as a part of the CSU Alcohol Usage Policy. The committee is made up of a cross section of representatives from across campus including: Housing, University Police, Office of Student Life, Health and Psychological Services, Athletics, faculty and students.
Mission: ACCT strives to elevate a level of awareness of the campus community regarding alcohol and drug related issues (health, psychological, social, personal and professional) in order to reduce substance abuse.

CSUDH Grant to Increase Alcohol Awareness
In January 2005, CSUDH received the CSU Alcohol and Traffic Safety Mini Grant to increase alcohol awareness. This grant was sponsored by the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for January 2005 - December 2006. This grant had two goals:
- To reduce by 5% the incidence of driving after consuming alcohol by 18-25 year old CSUDH students.
- To reduce risky alcohol related behaviors by 10% in high risk groups.
