AlcoholEdu®
This year, as part of our comprehensive alcohol prevention program, The University of Mississippi is asking all freshmen, sophomores, transfer students, junior and senior students participating in Greek life, and junior and senior student athletes to complete AlcoholEdu for College – an online, non-opinionated alcohol prevention program. Used on over 500 campuses nationwide, the course utilizes 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.

About the Course
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 the Exam and Survey 2. You must earn a grade of 85% or higher to pass and receive credit for the course. About 45 days after you complete Part 1, you will receive an e-mail asking you to complete Part 2.
You will not be allowed to register for Spring courses until you have successfully completed Part 2!
Please note that the course includes three surveys that measure students’ alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. All survey responses are strictly confidential; the university will only receive information about the student body as whole and will never see individual students’ answers.
