This year Quinnipiac University is offering a new course designed to help control irresponsible drinking.

This web-based course is offered primarily to the freshman class with hopes to educate and eliminate the abuse of alcohol. The 2 1/4 hour course is nationally recognized and is a way many universities are trying to help their students understand the importance of drinking responsibly.

The students first go through a pre-test/assessment, allowing him or her to personalize the test about to be taken. The pre-test asks for year of graduation, age, and other basic facts. A customized evaluation then follows, and evaluative results are given.

The student receives a pass or fail mark after completing the course and then attends an in-person follow-up assessment session with their cluster groups thirty days after the test. The meeting is required regardless of the results of the test.
