AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates (SAPU)
AlcoholEdu and SAPU are online educational modules that are mandatory for all incoming first-year and transfer students at UT. The college experience is more than academics. AlcoholEdu and SAPU are part of UT Austin’s comprehensive approach to promoting wellness and creating a safe campus for students. The program’s goals are to ensure that students have information to make well-informed decisions about substance use and are empowered to prevent sexual assault and interpersonal violence.
Students who fail to complete either Part 1 or Part 2 of the AlcoholEdu or SAPU program by the deadlines will be unable to see their grades online for that semester. Even if a student has completed AlcoholEdu, SAPU or a similar program while enrolled in another institution, they must complete AlcoholEdu and SAPU when they enter UT Austin.
How to sign up for AlcoholEdu and SAPU
Incoming students will receive an introductory email with a link to the program website. Access the programs by logging in with your UT EID and password as well as Duo (two-factor authentication).
How to complete AlcoholEdu and SAPU
AlcoholEdu and SAPU have two parts. Completing both parts by the deadline is required.
You can complete AlcoholEdu and SAPU on a computer or tablet. Answers provided by students are confidential, and responses are never linked to individual students. You can save your work and return to the program if necessary.
