Attention!
Online Training Requirements
Part 1 of AlcoholEdu and Part 1 of Sexual Assault Prevention are required. You will receive a registration hold on your account regarding this requirement. Once BOTH modules have been completed, it may take up to twenty-four hours for the hold to be removed.
Required Alcohol EDU and Sexual Assault Prevention Online Trainings for all incoming students
Florida State University invites all incoming students to complete two educational programs focused on serious issues facing students to help ensure a healthy and positive college experience. Vector Solutions provides alcohol use and interpersonal violence (sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment) education.
AlcoholEdu is an interactive, two-part online program to help you make healthy and safe decisions around alcohol. You will need to pass with a score of 75%.
Sexual Assault Prevention is an interactive two-part online program to help you make informed decisions about sex and relationships. It can help prevent sexual violence and demonstrate how to intervene in high-risk situations. Surveys personalize your experience, measure attitudes and behaviors and are confidential. Individual students' answers are not available to FSU, only aggregate data.
You will not need to complete these until you receive an invitation sent to your student email. The invitation will only be sent to your FSU student email address.
How to access course:
On your start date, you will receive an email invitation to complete the online modules. The link to access the modules will be in the email.
- Complete Part 1 of AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention by the due date.
- Within 20 days of completing Part 1, you will receive an invitation to complete Part 2 of AlcoholEDU and Sexual Assault Prevention. Part 2 is optional.
Exemption and Support for Survivors
FSU is sensitive to students who have a personal history of sexual violence. If you feel this training would be unacceptably upsetting for you due to that experience, please contact our Victim Advocate Program (VAP) at victims-advocate@fsu.edu to discuss an exemption from the training and an alternate way to receive important information contained in the training. You do not need to disclose the details of your personal history of sexual violence and you will receive a follow-up email with some of the important campus policies and resources discussed in the trainings.
