Georgia College & State University requires all new students to complete three online training modules before arriving on campus. The programs are AlcoholEdu, RespectEdu, and Hazing Prevention.
AlcoholEdu is a non-opinionated, science-based course taken by hundreds of thousands of students each year. Whether or not you drink, AlcoholEdu empowers students to make well-informed decisions and provides some simple strategies to help keep you and your friends safe. We also promote student health and safety through the use of RespectEdu, a program that educates students about the elements of healthy relationships, the importance of sexual consent, and the role of bystanders in creating safe, healthy communities. Hazing Prevention is a course that also encourages bystander intervention while also giving students the opportunity to participate in university groups and organizations safely.
All three programs provide a solid foundation for our new students to make healthier choices and to help someone else when they need assistance.
All Three of these programs Will open July 28, 2025 for incoming FRESHMEN.
All first-year, incoming Georgia College freshmen for the Fall 2025 semester must complete Part 1 of AlcoholEdu and RespectEdu, and Hazing Prevention, by August 22, 2025.
Emails will be sent to GCSU student's Bobcat e-mail accounts with the login details. The programs can be accessed through MyGCSU. After completion of Part 1 for AlcoholEdu, RespectEdu, and Hazing Prevention, approximately 45 days later, you will receive an automated email indicating that it is time for you to complete Part 2 of AlcoholEdu, RespectEdu, and Hazing Prevention and the final surveys.
You must complete Part 2 of all three required programs by November 7, 2025.
Completion of the full courses is a requirement of your First-Year Academic Seminar. Students will have a registration hold placed on their student accounts until the modules are completed. Failure to complete these modules may result in an inability to register for Spring 2026 classes on time.
