AlcoholEdu for College is a 2- to 3-hour program produced by EverFi. Delivered in an interactive web-based format, this evidence based course provides information about alcohol use and is designed to encourage students to make healthful or low risk choices.

The course consists of five modules, which include a knowledge pre-test, program content, an exam, and surveys assessing alcohol-related attitudes and behavior. Students will receive an email in early-July with log-in information. The online program may be completed in several sessions.

Part 1 (Modules 1-4)

Provides students with information, personalized feedback, and activities to help students consider choices and behaviors aligned with personal goals. Also provides information to assist students seeking help for a friend.

Part 2 (Module 5)

Part 2 consists of a review of course material and a follow-up survey (active post-matriculation).

The surveys built into AlcoholEdu for College are designed to assess students’ attitudes and behaviors before, during, and after the course. All individual responses on surveys and exams are confidential and anonymous; survey results will only be available only in an aggregate format. We do track course progress and exam scores but are not able to access specific responses to any exam or survey questions.
