An additional DFSCA requirement is the completion of a biennial review of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) programs and policies to determine program effectiveness and consistency of policy enforcement and to identify and implement any changes needed to either. Each review covers the previous two academic years and will be done prior to the beginning of the fall term in even years.
