Alcohol and Other Drug Education

Here To Support You!

Alcohol and drugs are a part of the social landscape at SUNY Oswego. For some people it's a welcome part of college life. For others, it's overwhelming and scary to see the things that students can get involved in. Our program supports students through education, counseling, and implementing prevention programs on campus.

AOD Programs

We have courses focusing on alcohol and drug education along with extracurricular programs. These resources help to increase awareness of AOD use, choices, and consequences. For questions or to request a training, email [email protected]

BASICS

  • Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is a two-session one on one assessment created for college students. Developed at the University of Washington, BASICS has been found to reduce negative consequences resulting from drinking, as well as alcohol consumption rates.
  • Many students will need to complete BASICS as part of a student conduct sanction.  The cost of the program is $80. If you would like to schedule a BASICS assessment, and not as part of a student conduct sanction, there is no charge.
