About Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harms

Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harms is an online educational course required for all incoming first-year students and transfer students on the Oxford campus. The course uses science-based research to educate students about alcohol and its effects. First-year students receive information about the module during orientation and in mailings over the summer.

About Impressions: Sexual Assault Prevention

Impressions: Sexual Assault Prevention is an interactive online course that uses a population-level approach to educate all students about sexual assault and interpersonal violence. Impressions helps students learn about healthy relationships, consent, and creating a safe, positive campus community.

Miami University requires each first-year student on the Oxford campus to complete Impressions as a part of the educational requirements of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA), signed into law on March 7, 2014. First-year students receive information about Impressions during orientation in mailings over the summer.

Who is required to take these modules?

All incoming first-year and transfer students must complete Impressions: Sexual Assault Prevention and Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harms and pass the quizzes.

When can I start and when is the deadline?

You can access both courses starting July 10, 2026. The deadline to complete the modules is August 18, 2026.

What happens if I don't complete the programs?

Students who do not complete the courses by the deadlines are subject to an academic hold, which blocks your ability to change your schedule or register for classes.

How do I access the modules?

The wellness modules, Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harms, and Impressions: Sexual Assault Prevention, are required to be completed before you arrive on campus this fall. Failure to complete these courses will prevent you from registering for spring classes.
