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.
