fall 2013 Freshman Transition Program To-Do List


Complete TU Online AlcoholEdu Prevention Program - Deadline: August 24
Contact: TU Division of Student Affairs - 410-704-2512

An important goal for all students is ensuring 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 email with instructions on how to log in online and complete the program.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. What is the Login ID? The first year login ID will be available shortly.

  2. I will be away for the summer and won’t have access to a computer until I return to come back to school in August. What should I do? The AlcoholEdu program can be accessed from any computer, so the student should be encouraged to log on periodically to take and complete the program. If they will not have access to any computer, they should be told that they should complete it as soon as possible before coming to campus.

  3. Is the program required? Students will be told, in an e-mail from Dr. Moriarty, that we expect every first year student to take AlcoholEdu for College before arriving on campus. The Vice President for Student Affairs has made this expectation known, and will determine what course of action to take if the course is not completed. Our goal is to ensure that students are aware of the importance the university places on educating all incoming students about alcohol, how it affects the mind and body, and how it can impact their college career and academic success.

  4. I don’t know what my Student ID is; how can I find out what it is? On the registration page, the student has the opportunity to create their own account using their e-mail and a password of their choice. They will need to enter their seven-digit Student ID, which was sent to the student in their acceptance letter, which will also be given at orientation, and also can be found on their Student ID card. It will also be on the letter/e-mail they received informing them of the AlcoholEdu requirement.

  5. What should I do if I experience any difficulties with the technological end of this program? What if I can’t log in? Should you experience any difficulties or require support, the AlcoholEdu Online Technical Support Center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Simply click on the “Technical Help” button located in the upper right hand corner of every AlcoholEdu for College screen. You do not need to be logged into the course to access the technological Support Center.

  6. What are the timelines for taking this course, and what do I need to do to pass?  Part 1 of the course takes approximately 2 hours to complete, and can be done 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 Friday, August 24, 2012.

  7. When will I get information about the next part of AlcoholEdu?  After you complete Part 1, you will receive an e-mail about 45 days later with instructions on completing Part 2. The deadline for completing Part 2 is Monday, October 22, 2012.

  8. I transferred from another school and took it there and passed it. Do I have to take it again?  If you have passed the course at another school, you do not need to take it at this time. This program has been set up for first time entering freshman.

  9.  How do I know if I will receive credit for the work I did on AlcoholEdu?  The passing grade is 70%. You can confirm your score by calling Outside the Classroom at the toll free number 877-338-5001, extension 295.
