This involves:
Taking a survey about your substance use.
Attending three sessions with a coach. The information you share during your sessions
is confidential as long as there is no threat of imminent harm to you or others.
All students are required to take both the AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates online courses before and during their first semester of classes.
You will need to complete these courses if you are:
a new undergraduate.
a transfer student (including re-admit or returning student).
a change-of-campus student.
a Gamecock Gateway student.
an international student.
Both courses are completed in two parts; one at the beginning of the school year and
one a few weeks later. A hold will be placed on your account if you do not complete requirements
for both courses by the deadlines.
