Drug Education Program

The Drug Education Program (DEP) is a 2-hour online course for students to learn about the impact of substance use, reflect on personal use, and consider risk reduction strategies. The goal is to consider what potential risks are for current behavior and how to modify behavior to reduce risk of negative consequences.

Topics covered in this course include:

  • Assessment of use
  • Cannabis
  • Substances and the brain
  • Tolerance and overdose
  • Polysubstance use
  • Risk reduction strategies

Students are typically sanctioned to complete these sessions as a part of a drug violation. However, any student may request to complete this course voluntarily or meet with the Wellness Coordinator due to concerns or questions regarding their personal use of substances.
