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:
What is the Login ID?
The first year login ID will be available
shortly.
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.
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.
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.
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 AlcoholEduOnlineTechnical
SupportCenter 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
SupportCenter.
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.
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.
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.
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
