Required Safety Program: AlcoholEdu and SAP-U

The Required Safety Program is comprised of interactive and engaging courses covering relevant safety-related topics for college students. The covered topics combine to take an advanced harm-reduction approach that resonates with students and empowers them to make healthy choices. Courses include:

Decisions: Alcohol & Other Drug Awareness
This is a one-hour online course that uses science-informed strategies to provide students with the information they need to make decisions regarding alcohol and other substance use

Hazing Prevention: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility
This is a one-hour online course that was created in conjunction with Hazing Prevention Network using evidence-informed strategies. This course teaches learners how to recognize, prevent, and report hazing on campus, and how to create safer and healthier group dynamics

Cultivating Awareness & Prevention of Sexual Violence
This is a one-hour online course that uses science-informed strategies and the Social Ecological Model of prevention to educate students around issues associated with sexual misconduct, relationship violence, and stalking.

Compliance with federal laws, including the Clery Act and the Stop Campus Hazing Act, requires colleges and universities that receive federal funding to provide students with prevention and awareness education:

• The Clery Act mandates that institutions offer ongoing prevention and awareness programs for students and employees on topics such as dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
• The Stop Campus Hazing Act requires institutions of higher education to provide evidence-informed prevention and awareness programs for students and employees. This federal law aims to increase transparency and protect students from the physical and psychological harm caused by hazing.

By completing this course, you are not only fulfilling a university requirement but also equipping yourself with important knowledge to make informed, respectful, and safe decisions while contributing to a healthier campus community.
