*Kansas State University College Students Alcohol/Drug Online Class
Alcohol and Drug Awareness
colleges and universities, which may or may not include the Kansas State University, are now recommending and sometimes requiring students to take a substance-abuse or an Alcohol and /or Drug education program, whether online or in person. This course does not replace any on-campus or online Alcoholedu course which may be required. It is a more in-depth and longer course (8, 10, 12- 16, 20 and 24 Hour Alcohol Awareness and Drug Educations) than normally required.
Most current Alcohol edu classes include two 45 minute classroom-setting courses. While these courses cover many needed topics, they lack the influential impact of an 8 Hour online course filled with consequential goals to college students and drinking and Drug usage. Then there are the distractions which are so plain in a classroom of fellow students. What the student gets out of the course is much more important than their mere credentials achieved once they’ve attended.
A course that provides a peace of mind to a parent is more important when it comes to your student’s well being and safety while they are away in college. Peer pressure is at it’s very highest level in the college ranks in comparison to high school. A concise Alcohol consumption course may fall short of reaching the point and topics that need to be covered for a thorough Alcohol course.
This course is not meant to replace any other Alcohol course on or off campus, but to supplement and add additional curriculum to the topics.
This online course is available in 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 Hour Alcohol Awareness and Drug Education Programs. You may begin the course upon registering and continue in your own schedule. The student may take the course over time and even a few minutes at a time if they wish.
