Alcohol and other Drugs

As part of our comprehensive alcohol prevention program, Roanoke College requires each member of the first-year class to complete AlcoholEdu for College - an online, non-opinionated, science-based course taken by hundreds of thousands of students each year. Whether you drink or not, AlcoholEdu will empower you to make well-informed decisions about alcohol and help you better cope with the drinking behavior of your peers.

The course has two sections, both of which must be completed to fulfill this requirement:

·         Part 1 of the course takes approximately 1.5-2.5 hours to complete and we recommend that you take it in multiple sittings. This part ends after Survey 2 and the Exam.  You must earn a grade of 75 or higher to pass and receive credit for the course. The deadline for finishing Part 1 is 8-22-12.

·         About 45 days after you complete Part 1, you will receive an email asking you to complete Part 2. The deadline to complete Part 2 is 11-1-12.

Please note that the course includes three surveys that measure students' alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. All survey responses are strictly confidential; the school will only receive information about the student body as whole and will never see individual students' answers.

If you finish Part 1 by Monday, August 13, 2012, you will be entered in a prize drawing, and one lucky winner will receive a $150 gift certificate to the Roanoke College Bookstore!  If you do not complete the course by the above deadlines, this will be noted in your student file.  In the event you are later found responsible for an alcohol related infraction, this will be considered in your sanction.
