Awareness Program
Any student, faculty or staff member who wishes counseling or help with substance or alcohol abuse should contact the Vice President for Students. Because the University does not currently have professional rehabilitation services, in-house referrals will generally be to outside agencies. The student, faculty or staff member will be responsible for the cost of the programs if not covered by medical insurance. The University will provide up to five (5) work days of unpaid leave for the employee to attend such programs.
For additional information, contact the Chief Student Officer at 614.341.6261.
Franklin University does not discriminate based on race, religion, color, gender, age, national origin, disability, or veteran status in admission of students, educational programs and policies, employment and other activities.
