individuals from the Corps of Cadets for drug testing. Individual testing may also be directed
whenever circumstances indicate possible use of illegal substances. MMI reserves the right to
test in the form of a urinalysis test, a hair follicle test, or any test recommended by an independent
source. Any willful attempt to evade directives concerning a hair follicle drug test by shaving,
cutting or altering hair, head or body, in any way unless hair loss is a result of a diagnosed medical
condition, will be considered a refusal to test and is grounds for dismissal or expulsion.
Substituting synthetic or another cadet’s urine will be considered an attempt to cheat the test and
will be grounds for dismissal or expulsion.

In accordance with the testing agreement, an inconclusive or negative result on a urinalysis test is
automatically tested again by an independent source unless the cadet admits to drug use. The
second test may be in the form of a hair follicle test or any other test recommended by an
independent source. Tests determined to be positive by MMI and/or an independent testing
laboratory will result in dismissal or expulsion. Cadets dismissed under the provisions of this
program may be allowed apply for reinstatement once they have successfully completed a
rehabilitation program prior to reapplying for readmission and meet other criteria as set forth by
the Commandant of Cadets.

Alcohol Testing. As with drug testing, MMI reserves the right to administer alcohol screening
tests when appropriate. This scree may be conducted by a field breathalyzer or other certified
field test.
