As part of our comprehensive alcohol prevention program the University of Miami is asking each member of the first-year class to complete AlcoholEdu for College - an online, non-opinionated alcohol prevention program. Used on over 500 campuses nationwide, the course uses science-based research to educate students about alcohol and its effects. Whether you drink or not, AlcoholEdu for College will empower you to make well-informed decisions about alcohol and help you better cope with the drinking behavior of your peers.
The course has two sections, both of which must be completed to fulfill this requirement:

• Part 1 of the course takes approximately 3 hours to complete, and we recommend that you take it in multiple sittings. This part ends after Survey 2 and the Exam. You must earn a grade of 75 or higher to pass and receive credit for the course. The deadline for finishing Part 1 is August 17, 2011.
• About 45 days after you complete Part 1, you will receive an email asking you to complete Part 2. The deadline to complete Part 2 is October 23, 2011.

We require every new incoming University of Miami student to complete AlcoholEdu for College. Failure to do will result in your inability to register for the 2012 spring semester.

Transfer students from other colleges/universities are not required to complete the online course but are highly encouraged to do so.
