* The Back on TRAC (Treatment, Responsibility, and Accountability on Campus) program is an assessment-based, collaborative, team approach that uses a community drug court model to address alcohol and drug issues among students. Students may be referred to Back on TRAC for consideration in the program by a hearing officer if they are sanctioned to suspension from Oklahoma State University or removal from Residential Life housing or fraternity/sorority housing. As a condition for remaining in school or in housing, students must be accepted into the program. This process includes assessments, interviews, and a contract. The mission of the Back on TRAC program is to provide an assessment-based intervention for students whose substance use behavior is jeopardizing their standing within the Oklahoma State University academic community. The program offers opportunities for treatment and recovery through support and accountability as students make substance use and lifestyle changes in an effort to achieve their academic goals.
