Educational Modules
Over the course of the summer, expect to receive information through your Stevens email regarding required educational online modules on topics including alcohol and other drugs, mental health, Title IX, hazing and the Stevens Honor System. These online modules are one way to educate all members of the Stevens community regarding our expectations for a healthy campus culture and to equip you with the skills and resources to make thoughtful decisions as a Stevens student. Not only does Stevens require students to complete these modules, but the information in many of these modules is required by state and federal mandates for new college students. New students must complete all modules by August 31, 2026.
