Substance Abuse Prevention and Education

Our vision is a safe Carolina community where students’ academic and personal success is not impaired by substance use.

STIR Referral Form »

I have been referred to the STIR Intervention Program

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.

AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates

All new students are required to take both the AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates online courses.

You will need to complete these courses if you are:

a new undergraduate.
a transfer 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.
