We want to ensure all incoming students receive the same information about alcohol and other substances; diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging; and sexual and relationship violence.

It is required that all students complete both the Bridging the Gap module and the Substance Use Modules: Alcohol Wise and Cannabis Wise.

Yes, all incoming undergraduate students need to complete these modules. It is important to us that you understand community expectations and learn about campus policies and resources.

We ask that you consider all the possibilities for accessing a computer.  A friend or family member may be willing to let you use their computer for this purpose.  Shared-use computer options such as public libraries are also a possible solution. The course can be completed on a computer, iPad, or tablet with access to the internet and audio capabilities.

For students unable to access the online modules at home, please complete them ASAP once you arrive on campus. There are many shared public computer lab spaces available on campus.
