Do I have to take the modules if I completed similar ones at another institution?

Yes. Completion at another institution does not exempt you from UT Austin’s required modules.

How do I access the modules?

You’ll receive an email from Vector Solutions with a link to the training modules. To log in, use your UT EID, password, and Duo two-factor authentication.

How long do the modules take?

Part 1: Approximately 1 hour
Part 2: Approximately 5 minutes (available about 45 days after completing Part 1)

I completed Part 1. Why don’t I see Part 2?

Part 2 will unlock approximately 45 days after finishing Part 1. You’ll receive a notification when it’s available.

I see two different deadlines. Why?

Each module is divided into two parts, each with its own deadline. Part 2 will only be released 45 days after you complete Part 1. If you complete Part 1 late, you may not have enough time to finish Part 2 by its assigned deadline. To stay on track, we strongly recommend completing both parts as early as possible.

Do I need textbooks or other materials?

No. All course content is provided online.

I don’t drink or my religion prohibits alcohol. Do I still have to take AlcoholEdu?

Yes. Even if you don’t drink, AlcoholEdu is still required. The course provides valuable information on how to make informed choices and support peers, regardless of your personal beliefs or behavior.

Will my answers affect my standing at UT Austin?

No. Your responses are confidential and de-identified. UT Austin only receives information about your completion status and final exam score—not your individual answers.

I’m a graduate student. Do I need to complete AlcoholEdu, SAPU, or the Mental Health and Well-Being module?
