Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP) is specifically designed for college students. The emphasis of the training is on how to handle situations in which individuals have misused alcohol. The materials are focused on the college environment and how your actions can prevent alcohol-related problems. For legal-aged students, it will provide the opportunity to learn how to create a responsible drinking environment. ASTP is an organizational training that is free of cost to all students, specifically all student organizations. The training is a prerequisite for student organizations to register for an event with alcohol.
Policy training and ASTP are a combined hour-and-a-half long training for student organizations provided free of charge. The training is a prerequisite for student organizations to register for an event with alcohol.
At least 75% of a student organization's membership must complete ASTP prior to the Dean of the College reviewing an Event with Alcohol registration form.
