Alcohol Edu Deadline Approaching

08/13/10

Pioneer Power Up and Move In Day are just one week away.  We know there is a lot going on at your home in preparation for your student to start his or her academic career here at SMC.  One of the things we need your student to concentrate on this week is fulfilling the requirements for Alcohol Edu.  You, as the parent or family member, can help us help them.

Your student should have received information in the mail a couple of weeks ago providing them with information about Alcohol Edu and how to log in to complete the 1st part of the program.  This is required for ALL new students.  Students who do not complete Alcohol Edu will automatically fail their SMC 101 class. 

The first part must be completed by August 18th!  It takes about three hours to complete, but your student doesn't have to complete everything at one time.  It really is best if your student completes this online education program prior to coming to campus. 

The program educates students on how to be responsible in their choices regarding alcohol and how to catch the warning signs of alcohol abuse and alcohol poisoning in others.  Alcohol Edu has proven success at over 500 institutions of higher education across the United States. 

Please encourage your student to complete the requirement by August 18th.
