AlcoholEdu.com
Santa Clara University requires all first year students to sufficiently complete AlcoholEdu.com – an online, science-based, course. This course provides detailed information about alcohol and its effects on the body and mind. Whether you drink or abstain from alcohol, AlcoholEdu.com will empower you to make well-informed decisions about alcohol and better cope with the drinking behavior of your peers.

Potty Talk Newsletter
"Potty Talk" is a monthly health and wellness newsletter created by SCU students in the Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB) and Peer Health Education (PHE) Programs. Our issues are aimed at providing the campus community with fun, interesting, important facts and information about relevant student concerns such as alcohol, rape/sexual assault, eating disorders/body image, STDs, nutrition, healthy relationships, and stress. "Potty Talk" is posted monthly in the bathroom stalls of residence halls (hence the name "Potty Talk") and other common areas on campus.

Sexual Assault Protocol
The University Sexual Assault Protocol describes the protocol of actions to be taken in the event of the report of a sexual assault. Copies of the policy, as well as assistance and referral to available resources, are available in the Office of Student in Benson Memorial Center, 205. Students are encouraged to report any case of sexual assault.
