of books, journals, audio-visual materials, & doctoral manuscripts in the fields of psychology,
counseling, education, and business.
The library collection has approximately 9000 books, 80 current journal subscriptions, 23
journal titles on microfiche, over 600 audio-visual titles and over 100 psychological tests. In
addition, there are 5 computer stations with Internet access, Microsoft Office products and
other appropriate software. There are an additional 24 computer stations in the computer lab
in room 802.
Circulation of Materials:
Library privileges are only for current Argosy University, Schaumburg students.
Loan periods:
• Books – 3 weeks (with 1 week grace period)
• Audiovisual materials – 1 week
• Manuscripts – 1 week
Renewals:
Two renewals are permitted. Renewals can be requested by email, phone or logging into “My
Account” in Voyager.
Non-circulating materials:
• Reference books
• Periodicals (journals & microfiche)

Reserves:
Copies of course textbooks are placed on “reserve” IF the library owns a copy. The library will
not necessarily purchase copies of all required course textbooks. Loan periods for reserve
materials are very limited—typically 3 hrs. or 24 hrs. Articles on reserve are “library use only”.
Patrons may place a hold on a book that is currently checked out, so that it will be reserved for
that patron upon its return. This does not apply to reserve items.
Materials needed for reserves can be recalled at any time. Failure to return by a designated
time will result in a fine or suspension of library privileges.
Fines:
Fines: $0.25 per day per item. There is a 1-week grace period for books, where no fine is
charged. However, once the grace period is over, the fine is calculated starting with the 1st
day after the due date.
There is no grace period for items with a 1-week loan period: videos, audiocassette, CRPs, etc.
Fines for reserve materials are $0.25/hour for hourly reserves (3 hr. or 24 hr.) and $1.00 per
day for items with longer loan periods.
The charge for a lost item is the current list price plus a $10.00 processing fee. If the item
is no longer available for purchase, the price of a comparable item (plus processing fee) will
be charged instead. However, if the patron replaces the item him/herself, there will be no
processing fee charged.
All fines and lost material charges are paid in the library. Failure to pay fines in a timely manner
could result in the loss of library privileges. All fines/fees must be paid and all materials must
be returned to the library before graduation.
8
Psychological Test Materials:
All testing materials (unless on RESERVE for a course) are housed within the Clinical Training
Department. Loan period is typically one week.
Interlibrary Loan:
The library also offers a nation-wide interlibrary loan service for books and articles. Materials
not currently owned by the library can be ordered from other Argosy University campus libraries,
the local library system, the state Illinet Online system and nationally through OCLC. There
is a $1.00 fee for each item ordered through interlibrary loan. Note: the library does not order
required textbooks via interlibrary loan.
Library Card Reimbursement Program:
In order to provide students with expanded library resources, Argosy University, Schaumburg
will reimburse students for the purchase of one external library card per year up to a maximum
of $75. This would allow check-out privileges from the library you choose.

Although individuals often use drugs and alcohol to achieve a variety of effects on mind and

This price can be paid in a number of ways. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases,
including AIDS, is increased through unwanted or unprotected sex when one is under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. Drugs can be the trigger for violent crime. Economic and legal
problems usually follow directly when one tries to support a drug habit by resorting to crime.
The dependence, illness, loss of job, and loss of family or friends that can result from drug or
alcohol use and abuse can be tragic.
In keeping with the mission of Argosy University and the requirements of state and federal

Sanctions
Argosy University Sanctions
Argosy University, Schaumburg , in all of its actions, seeks to uphold local, state and federal laws.
Insofar as permitted by these laws, Argosy University, Schaumburg will apply sanctions that
could lead to a student being fined, suspended or expelled or an employee being disciplined,
suspended or dismissed for violation of the Argosy University, Schaumburg standards of
conduct. Students and employees may also be referred for prosecution. Disciplinary sanctions
may include the completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program, at the student’s or
employee’s expense, if necessary.
Illinois State Laws
In Illinois, it is against the law to sell or deliver alcohol to anyone under twenty-one, or to any
intoxicated person [235 ILCS 5/6-16]. Violations can result in fines of up to $1,000 and one
year in jail. It is also illegal for a person under twenty-one to present false identification in an
attempt to purchase alcohol.
Recent legislation signed by the Governor provides further penalties: (1) The Secretary of
State is authorized to suspend or revoke without a hearing the driver’s license or instruction
permit of a person under 21 who has purchased or attempted to purchase alcohol from a duly
licensed establishment or who has consumed alcohol on licensed premises. (2) Local liquor
commissioners have the duty to report to the Secretary of State any conviction for a violation of
the Liquor Control Act, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, prohibiting a person under
21 from purchasing, accepting, possessing, or consuming alcohol and prohibiting the transfer
or alteration of identification cards, the use of the identification card of another or a false or
forged identification card, or the use of false information to obtain an identification card. (3)
The Secretary of State is authorized to suspend or revoke the driver’s license or learner’s permit
of any person convicted of violating any of the prohibitions listed above in “(2)” or similar
provisions of local ordinances.
Substantial penalties exist in Illinois for the operation of a motor vehicle by a driver with a
blood or breath alcohol concentration of .08 or greater. (A good guideline for ensuring that
your concentration of alcohol remains within legal limits is to consume no more than one
drink - i.e., 1 ounce of spirits, 4 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer - per hour.) Arrests are
also possible at lower alcohol levels if driving is impaired. The first offense can result in a $1,000
fine, incarceration for up to one year, and suspension or revocation of the offender’s driver’s
license. Subsequent offenses entail penalties of significantly greater severity. Transporting open
alcohol containers in a motor vehicle is also punishable under Illinois law.
Possession and delivery of illicit drugs are prohibited in Illinois through the Cannabis Control
Act [740 ILCS 40/0.01 et seq.] and the Controlled Substances Act [720 ILCS 570/100 et seq.
and 720 ILCS 570/401 et seq.]. Penalties vary with the amount of the drug confiscated; the
type of drug found; the number of previous offenses by the individual; and whether the
individual intended to manufacture, sell, or use the drug. A first-time conviction of possession
of a controlled substance can result in a one- to three-year prison sentence, plus a fine of up
to $15,000. More severe penalties may be imposed for conviction of class 2, 3, or 4 felonies
involving manufacture or delivery to a minor. Vehicles used with knowledge of the owner in the
commission of any offense prohibited by the Cannabis Control Act or Controlled Substances
Act can be seized by the government; all ownership rights are forfeited.
Federal Sanctions
Federal penalties and sanctions for illegal possession of a controlled substance include the
following:
First Conviction Up to 1 year in prison, fine of $1,000 to $100,000, or both
Second Conviction At least 15 days and up to 2 years imprisonment, $5,000 to $250,000 fine,
or both
After Two Drug Convictions At least 90 days and up to 3 years in prison, $5,000 to $250,000
fine, or both
19
Special federal sentencing provisions for possession of crack cocaine include a mandatory prison
term of at least 5 years and up to 20 years, fine of up to $250,000, or both, for a first conviction
if the amount of crack exceeds 5 grams, for a second conviction if amount exceeds 3 grams,
and for a third or subsequent conviction if the amount exceeds 1 gram.
Additional federal sanctions may also apply including forfeiture of vehicles used to transport
controlled substances, denial of federal benefits including student loans, grants, and contracts
and denial or revocation of certain federal licenses and benefits.
Convictions for Drug-Related Offenses
Any student convicted of any drug-related criminal statute must notify the director of Student
Services, in writing, no later than five days after such conviction regardless of where the offense
occurred. This is because under federal and state laws, any student convicted of a drug-related
felony offense must be denied all federal and state assistance, including Pell Grants and statespecific grants. However, a criminal conviction shall not be necessary to find that a student has
violated these standards of conduct, and Argosy University, Schaumburg need not, and ordinarily
will not, defer its own actions and sanctions pending the outcome of any criminal proceeding.
Danger Signals Indicating a Drug or Alcohol Problem
Following is a listing of classic danger signals that may indicate the presence of a drug or
alcohol problem:
• Abrupt changes in mood or attitude
• Decreased efficiency at work or at school
• Frequent absences, tardiness, and/or early departures
• Relationship problems with family, friends, and co-workers
• Unusual outbursts of anger and hostility
• Social withdrawal
Counseling, Treatment, or Rehabilitation Program

to participate satisfactorily in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for
such purposes by a federal, state, or local health, law enforcement, or other appropriate agency.
