Directions for Completing AlcoholEdu for College

«Back to New Student Requirements

AlcoholEdu for College is an online science-based alcohol abuse prevention program that provides a tailored educational experience focusing on the impact of alcohol on the mind and body. Every incoming undergraduate student is required to take AlcoholEdu and pass the course’s final exam. In this way, every student coming into the USC community has an appropriate and accurate understanding of alcohol and alcohol abuse.

Approximately 37% of incoming USC freshmen have consumed alcohol. This number may seem different that what you had expected. Whether or not you decide as a student to drink while you are at USC, AlcoholEdu will assist you in making a well-informed decision as well as assist in coping with the potential drinking behavior of your peers.

Part 1 Deadline

Part 1 of the course can be started July 24, 2013. Part 1 must be completed by Monday, August 19, 2013.

After completing Part 1, print out and save a digital copy (a screen shot is recommended) your Certificate of Completion. Chapter presidents or new member educators will collect the completion certificates.

Part 2 Deadline
