Board of Regents for Higher Education
Connecticut State Colleges and Universities
Policy regarding
OPIOID OVERDOSE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS
Statement of Policy
The Board of Regents for Higher Education (“BOR”) in conjunction with the Connecticut State
Colleges and Universities (“CSCU”) is committed to maintaining safe and substance-free
campuses for all students, employees and visitors. It is the intent of the BOR and each of its
Colleges and Universities to increase awareness regarding opioid addiction and prevention. In
the unfortunate instance of opioid overdose, it is the intent of the BOR and the CSCU to prevent
overdose related death through the proper training, administration, and usage of naloxone
hydrochloride, commonly known as Narcan® Nasal Spray, or other similarly acting and equally
safe overdose-reversing drug approved by the FDA (“Intranasal Naloxone” or “IN kits”).
Therefore, this policy serves to direct each Connecticut State College and University to
participate, together with other agencies, in a statewide initiative focused on public health issues
regarding opioid-related drug overdose persons.
Campus Specific Opioid Overdose Prevention Procedures
Upon adoption by the Board all CSCU institutions will, within 30 days of adoption of this policy,
prepare and forward to the CSCU Office of Legal Affairs, campus specific Opioid Overdose
Prevention Procedures (“Procedures”) consistent with the requirements of Public Act 19-191. As
such, all submitted Procedures shall include details regarding the following:
Designation of medical or public safety professionals to oversee the purchase, storage
and distribution of the Intranasal Naloxone;
Procedures for the purchase and distribution of IN kits;
Identification of the location(s) on each campus where the IN kits are stored and
accessible to students and employees;
Procedures for the storage of IN kits according to manufacturer’s guidelines and
appropriate disposal;
Intranasal Naloxone is a proven and effective emergency treatment for known or suspected opioid
overdoses. Such medications are not a substitute for emergency medical care. However, when
administered during an opioid overdose, and with proper emergency medical assistance, lives may be
saved.
The Connecticut Good Samaritan Law allows anyone, if acting with reasonable care, to administer an
opioid antagonist to a person one believes in good faith is experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose
without criminal or civil liability.

Procedures for the training of individuals to access and administer the IN kits in
emergency situations; and
Requirements that emergency medical services/911 be called each time the IN kit is
administered on campus.
The CSCU Office of Legal Affairs will submit all College and University Opioid Overdose
Prevention Procedures to the Department of Consumer Protection for approval. Upon approval
and by no later than December 31, 2019 each College and University shall post and maintain its
Procedures in an easily accessible manner on each institution’s website at all times. Each CSCU
institution is responsible for maintaining its information current on its website and within its
written emergency response Procedures.
The Procedures will thereafter be annually provided to all campus law enforcement officers and
security personnel, counseling and medical personnel, resident hall advisors and other campus
personnel. Further, this policy shall be presented at student orientation or at student awareness
and prevention trainings, and made broadly available at each campus.
Awareness Campaigns
Each CSCU College and University will develop and implement a process to continually educate
students, faculty and staff regarding opioid overdose prevention and IN kit availability on their
campuses through a multi - faceted approach including, but not limited to, email, institutional
websites, social media, posters, new student and employee orientations, and open on – campus
opioid overdose response trainings. Campuses are encouraged to engage students from health
professions schools (e.g. nursing, social work), student organizations (e.g. student government,
health promotion, students for sensible drug policy), or community organizations to promote
awareness and education with the goal of preventing opioid overdose deaths.
Reporting Requirements
Each institution is required to maintain a current record of every IN kit distribution, use or
administration at their campus. On or before October 1 of each year, each CSCU institution must
report to the CSCU Chief of Staff its statistics and a brief description of every event or incident
that required the distribution, use or administration of an IN kit at the respective institution
within the prior year (September 1 of prior year through October 1 of current year).
