Alcohol and Other Drugs
Welcome to Alcohol and Other Drugs
Alcohol and Other Drugs is an interactive course that focuses on the impact alcohol has on your wellness, academic success, and personal development.
This course empowers students to make well-informed decisions about alcohol, including how to recognize and respond to an alcohol-related emergency.
This program is not a lecture or a “just say no” program, but rather a program that gives you the information you need to be safe and make informed choices with alcohol.
Why do I have to take Alcohol and Other Drugs?
Whether you choose to drink or not, the reality is that you will encounter alcohol at some point during your time at Oregon State University in some capacity.
It’s important that students understand the effects alcohol can have on individuals as well as our community in order to foster a safe, healthy, and welcoming community.
Sexual Assault Prevention
What is it?
Sexual Assault Prevention is an interactive course that addresses the critical issues of sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking —specifically on college campuses.
The course encourages students to reflect on their personal values when it comes to relationships; uses scenarios from diverse perspectives to provide a relevant and inclusive experience; challenges harmful and demeaning language and attitudes; and provides guidance for supporting a friend who may have experienced sexual violence.
How it works
The course is part of an automated system. When it is your turn to take the course you will receive an email with login instructions and course deadlines.
Why do I have to take this course?
Oregon State University's goal is to make all OSU students aware of how sexual violence is perpetrated and also provide students with an understand on how to prevent it. As a community, it is important that we have these conversations.
All OSU students are part of our university community, and therefore part of the change that we seek to initiate with this online course. This training is one of many ways we are working to creating a healthy, safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
