Dear Student,
UGA is excited to bring to first year and transfer students myStudentBody.com (MSB), an interactive online alcohol program. Completion of the MSB Freshman alcohol course is a university requirement, which can help make your college experience a safer and healthier one.
MSB is a comprehensive college health research-based initiative that is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). myStudentBody.com Alcohol provides personalized health information, interactive tools, and coping strategies that are up-to-date and scientifically accurate.
Completion of the MSB-Alcohol Freshman course is required for incoming students. Please follow instructions exactly as stated to avoid problems with flag removal from your record.
MSB is required for all first year and transfer students under the age of 23. The online course must be passed with an 80% or higher by the first day of fall semester classes. The course will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
Failure to complete this requirement will result in a flag being placed on your student record until the course is passed. A flag on your record will prevent you from registering for future classes until you have fulfilled the requirement.
Once you have passed the course, you will be awarded an electronic certificate to indicate that you have passed. If you do not receive a certificate, you did not pass and the flag will not be removed from your record.
