Our top priorities at Florida State University are student safety and well-being. We support a safe and inclusive environment by encouraging students and student organizations to take immediate action in seeking emergency medical attention for individuals who need medical care.
Amnesty may apply for students seeking assistance for themselves or others as a result of a hazing incident, sexual misconduct, intoxication, or medical emergency from alcohol or other drugs.
FSU’s Amnesty section of the Student Code of Conduct applies a waiver of student conduct process disciplinary action in which individuals may be eligible for amnesty consideration. This policy does not grant automatic “full immunity” to a student who acts under Amnesty.
In serious or life-threatening situations, particularly where alcohol poisoning or drug overdose is suspected or where other medical treatment is reasonably believed to be appropriate, students may qualify for Amnesty should they take the following steps:
- SEEK Help: Call 9-1-1 or FSU Police Department if on campus: (850) 644-1234
- STAY: Remain with the person needing assistance until emergency responders arrive.
- SHARE: Provide emergency responders with as much information as possible including the amount/dose of substances consumed.
