University of Oregon freshmen and transfer students under age 21 are being asked to complete a web-based alcohol education course before they get to campus. Jennifer Summers with the Substance Abuse Prevention Program says the course helps young students understand the dangers of alcohol. The two-part on-line class includes a test for comprehension, which students must pass by 80%. It also helps students understand the meaning of "consent" related to sexual relationships, and how alcohol could change the definition.
