Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Programming
The Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention (AOD) Programming Office offers a wide variety of services, including education, prevention, alcohol and other drug assessment/evaluation, short term intervention, and referrals for treatment. The AOD Office partners with other campus and community programs to create a healthy environment for students to study, work and play. Programs, activities and support services are provided to students to encourage low risk, responsible choices; ones that will optimize their personal and academic success and enhance their time at UCF.
Additionally, this office serves as an umbrella for the Real Project Peer Advocacy Program.
We offer a three hour elective credit course, HLP 2701. Information on contemporary college health issues such as alcohol and other drugs, sexual assault, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections and diversity are discussed. Students explore ways to assist their peers with life skills development when dealing with these issues. Students then have an opportunity to utilize these skills and knowledge to present valuable information and act as a resource to other peers on campus.
