The Under the Influence & Marijuana 101 are online courses used in response to first-offense on-campus alcohol/marijuana violations. Under the Influence is made up of 10 lesson modules which take approximately 4 hours to complete; Marijuana 101 is made up of 6 lesson modules which take approximately 3 hours to complete. These are self-help courses where students can log in and out as needed. Students complete a confidential eCHECKUP TO GO self-assessment in Lesson 1. The eCHECKUP intervention allows us to provide feedback and additional resources for the student throughout the course. Research show that personalized feedback is a key factor in helping change behavior.
Students assigned Under the Influence or Marijuana 101 will be given a deadline to complete the course. Students then must complete a 30-day follow-up to complete this sanction. Students failing to do so may receive additional sanctions.
