Incoming students under the age of 21 are required to complete AlcoholEdu for College, Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates, and Mental Well-Being for Students.

Incoming students between the ages 21-22 are required to complete AlcoholEdu Ongoing Education, Sexual Assault Prevention Ongoing: Taking Action, and Mental Well-Being for Students.

 

If you miss the deadlines, a registration hold will be placed on your student account. This means you would not be able to register for next semester’s classes until the requirement is met. After a hold is placed on your account, you will still be able to access and take the courses. Holds are automatically removed once the full requirement is completed.

Note: There is a 45 day intermission between Part 1 and 2. Finishing Part 1 as soon as possible will impact your completion date for Part 2 for each course.

You can access these courses either through the invitation/reminder emails you receive from UW through Vector Solutions OR

1. Login to your WyoWeb account by going to Main Menu (uwyo.edu)

2. After logging in, you will find your "Checklist" with a link to "Prevention Courses". The link will open an informational page which contains another link that will take you to the Vector Solutions website which hosts the courses.

3. The Vector Solutions website utilizes single sign-on, meaning that your username and password are the same as your UW username and password.

4. Once you have logged in to your account, you will be taken to a dashboard with an assignment titled “Required Prevention Courses” which contains the AlcoholEdu, SAP, and Mental Well-Being courses.

PLEASE NOTE: AlcoholEdu, SAP, and Mental Well-Being are SEPARATE courses. Please ensure that you complete ALL in their entirety. You must pass each final exam with a 75% or higher to get credit for these courses. If you receive less than 75%, you will need to retake the final exam. 

5. When you are complete with each course, the modules should show 100% complete. DO NOT log out until you click the "Next" button or you will have to repeat the section you have just gone through.

6.  Each course has two parts. The “Checklist” item “Prevention Courses” will be marked with a green checkmark when Part 1 of all courses are complete. The “Checklist” item “Prevention Courses (Part 2)” will be marked with a green checkmark when Part 2 of all courses are complete. Note: There is a 45 day intermission between Part 1 and 2. Since these courses are hosted on a site outside of the UW system, there can be a delay in reflecting the changes on WyoWeb.

All incoming students under the age of 23.

If you believe you have an extenuating circumstance, please contact the HOPES program to inquire further.

If you are assigned the courses and you are over the age of 23, are a graduate student, completing your second bachelor's degree, or faculty/staff taking additional courses, please contact the HOPES Program at hopes@uwyo.edu or 307-766-6776 as you are exempt from taking the courses.

If you have completed AlcoholEdu, SAP, or Mental Well-Being at another institution, send verification to the HOPES Program. Acceptable materials include confirmation emails of completion from Everfi or Vector Solutions or a screenshot of your previous Everfi or Vector Solutions dashboard showing you have completed the course. If you are unable to gather this information, try contacting the person who oversees these courses at your previous institution to see if they have any records. If materials cannot be verified, you will need to retake the course.

 

• Altogether, Part 1 will take approximately 3 - 4.5 hours to complete.

• Part 2 of all courses will take approximately 15 minutes each to complete.

You may take the course in multiple sittings, but make sure to click on the "next" button after completing a section before logging out. If you do not progress to the next section first, you will have to repeat the previous section.

The AlcoholEdu course will include surveys about your personal health behaviors to help personalize your experience and measure students' alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. All survey responses are confidential; UW will only receive information about the student body as a whole and never your individual answers as a student. This is also true about SAP and Mental Well-Being.

Yes. Not only does AlcoholEdu provide general information about alcohol and other drugs, it also provides helpful information about what you can do as an active bystander. It is important that all UW community members feel equipped to look out for one another to create a safe environment. The course also provides you with essential campus resources and policies.

Our recent data from the 2023-2024 academic year suggests that students are positively impacted by these courses. Of the students who completed the courses,

83% reported that AlcoholEdu prepared them to “make responsible decisions about drinking” and the majority set intentions to mitigate high-risk drinking (e.g. alternating alcohol and non-alcohol beverages and setting a limit).

The majority agreed that SAP “helped them identify characteristics of healthy and unhealthy relationships” and 78% agreed that SAP “made them more confident in their ability to intervene when they see concerning behavior.”

After completing the Mental Well-Being course, 83% agreed that “seeking help for their mental health can make a positive difference,” and 81% indicated they now know where to go to find mental health services on campus.
