program is based, and if you test positive for any of these

NCAA Banned Drug List
INTRODUCTION
University of New Hampshire student-athletes are expected to
conduct themselves in a positive manner in the academic, athletic
and public community. This Policy implements the University
of New Hampshire’s goals of protecting the health and welfare
of the student-athlete, promoting the integrity of intercollegiate
competition, and affirming compliance with laws, rules and
regulations concerning drug use.
Drug and alcohol misuse can create serious social and health
problems for the student-athlete. It is vital that
student-athletes learn how the abuse of drugs or alcohol can be a
severe detriment to their general health as well as athletic
performance. Evidence of use of banned substances as
specified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA),
including performance enhancing drugs, may result in a
student-athlete's eligibility being negatively affected by the
NCAA. This not only penalizes the student-athlete and their
team, but also reflects negatively on the University of New
Hampshire community.
The University of New Hampshire promotes a healthy lifestyle and
competitive environment by creating an opportunity to learn about
the effects of certain drugs and to participate in a drug free
environment. The implementation of drug education, drug-screening,
and drug counseling programs serve the University's goal of
educating and protecting the health and well being of each
student-athlete.
