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 applies science-based research to educate students about alcohol and its effects. First-year students receive information about the module during orientation and 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 on the issues associated with sexual assault and interpersonal violence. Impressions helps students learn about healthy relationships, consent, and creating a positive, safe campus community.

Miami University requires each member of the first-year class on the Oxford campus to complete Impressions as a component 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 and 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 may access both modules beginning July 10, 2025. The deadline to complete the modules is August 20, 2025.

What happens if I don't complete the programs?

Students who do not complete any of the courses by the deadlines are subject to an academic hold, which will mean you cannot change your schedule and/or register for classes.
