In compliance with relevant federal and state laws and for the benefit of the Florida Tech community, the university has established Florida Tech's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Preventive Programs (DAAPP) to provide information to the campus community of available resources and support, as well as the educational, disciplinary, health, and legal consequences of abuse of alcohol and illegal drug use. DAAPP is intended to support student and employee health, safety and security by increasing awareness, preventing abuse, and decreasing potential drug and alcohol related crime.

Florida Tech strives to maintain communities and workplaces free from the illegal use, possession or distribution of alcohol and controlled substances. The use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of illegal drugs and drug-related paraphernalia, or the misuse of legal pharmaceutical drugs is prohibited. Similarly, the use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of alcoholic beverages (except as expressly permitted by law and University regulations), or public intoxication while on campus or at a university related activity is prohibited.
