Some students are experiencing holds on their registration due to failure to complete the mandatory AlcoholEDU program.

Holds will be lifted up to three days after completing the program.

According to Jennifer Summers, director of substance abuse prevention and student success, although the program has had the highest completion rate in the three years of the UO adopting the program, there are still students who did not complete it.

“The goal is to reduce the negative effects of alcohol abuse and misuse. This year 95 percent of (required) students completed AlcoholEDU,” Summers said.

The program is required to be completed by all new students, freshman or transfers, under age 21.

Students are told that if they do not complete the program they will receive a hold, although in 2011, the first year for AlcoholEDU at UO, there were no such ramifications.

The registrar’s office is directing all questions and concerns to the AlcoholEDU webpage.
