Deadline: August 24 (revised)
Contact: Division of Student Affairs - 410-704-2512 |
The To-Do List information below is for students entering fall 2011. Information for students entering fall 2012 will be available in mid-April.
One of our goals is to ensure that you have a positive experience at Towson
University and that you are aware of your rights and responsibilities as a
member of our campus community. One way we do this is by educating all
incoming students about alcohol, how it affects your mind and body, and
how it can impact your college career and academic success.
To this end, we expect every first-year student to take AlcoholEdu for College,
an online alcohol prevention program, before arriving on campus. You will
be contacted in July by e-mail with instructions on how to log in online and
complete the program.
You may begin taking AlcoholEdu for College on Monday, July 25, 2011. All you need to take the course is a computer with access to the Internet and audio capabilities. The course has two sections, both of which must be completed to fulfill this requirement:
-
Part 1 of the course takes approximately 2 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 70% or higher to pass and receive credit for the course. The deadline for finishing Part 1 is Wednesday, August 24, 2011. After you complete Part 1, you will receive an e-mail about 45 days later with instructions on completing Part 2. The deadline to complete Part 2 is Friday, October 21, 2011.
The course includes three surveys that measure students’ alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. All survey responses are strictly confidential. Towson University will only receive information about the student body as a whole and will never see individual students’ answers. You can feel confident that providing truthful answers—no matter what they are—will not put you at risk for repercussions.
To take AlcoholEdu for College, you will need a computer with Internet access and audio capabilities. If you don’t have one at home, most libraries have computers with internet access
