Will I get in trouble for my answers in any of these trainings? 

Ohio State will only receive your final exam score and the status of your course completion, not your individual answers. All other data received by the university is aggregate, de-identified data.  

I’m already 21 – do I have to take these courses?  

Even though the legal age to consume alcohol is 21, this program will benefit any person who is 21 or older as to how to make the best decisions regarding alcohol consumption. 

Are my answers to the questions private?   

Students’ individual answers to questions in the training will not be shared with Ohio State. The university will receive information about the student body’s responses as a whole. This information will be used to better understand students’ knowledge of resources and inform future programming and policies. 

Do these trainings include accessibility features?   

The training includes certain accessibility features, including full transcripts and closed captioning for audio and video. The training is currently offered only in English. To request an accessible version, please contact  sl-hwtraining@osu.edu.  

Do I need to take the entire course at once?   

You may take the course in multiple sittings. The courses will save your progress with each “Next” button that you push within the course.  

I took Part 1 of AlcoholEDU but cannot find Part 2 – where is it? 

Part 2 will become available approximately 45 days after you complete Part 1. You cannot view Part 2 before that time, and you will receive an email when Part 2 becomes available to you.  

I’m a transfer student and I already completed these courses at my previous school. Do I need to complete them again?   

You must complete the course again using your Ohio State credentials. The courses have Ohio State specific policy information and campus resources that you need to know. 

My religious beliefs forbid alcohol and substance use. Why do I have to take the course?  

The course includes information on ways to help your peers who may be drinking, even if you do not drink alcohol. 

Can students get a waiver for the training? 

If you have concerns about completing the training due to its content, please email Sl-hwtraining@osu.edu 

While doing the survey, I skipped through to see how many questions there were, but now it is not letting me go back to the first page to complete the survey. What can I do to complete the questions and move onto the next step?
