New Developments: UAP (Underage in Possession of Alcohol) Remedial Alcohol Awareness Classes

Remedial Alcohol Awareness Education is offered by the Student Wellness Center for students who are convicted by the local courts, Helena City and Lewis and Clark County. There is a $75.00 fee for this education program, which can either be billed to student accounts or paid directly by the student at the first meeting with the Alcohol Educator.

This opportunity is being offered through the Smart Choices: Responsible Drinking for Life program that has alcohol abuse prevention education and early intervention for abusers as two of its primary goals.

Effective October 2005, all persons convicted of Underage in Possession of Alcohol (Montana Code 45-5-624) are mandated to attend a substance abuse information course (6 hours in length). Prior to October 2005 only persons convicted of Minor in Possession of Alcohol (under18 years of age) were required to participate in the substance abuse information course.

CARROLL COLLEGE PROGRAM

The UAP Alcohol Awareness Education Program at Carroll requires attendance and participation in two group educational meetings using the curriculum from "Choices About Alcohol^TM" and successful completion with a passing grade of 80% of the interactive Internet program "Under the Influence" between the two meetings. The meetings are on Thursdays in Classroom GU007 (Basement of Guadalupe Hall) from 12:30-1:50 PM.  Be sure to allow enough time to complete the program based upon deadlines assigned to you by the Courts or by the College. Contact the Student Wellness Center at 447-5441 to register for the program, get details, and if you have questions.

BOYD ANDREW COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM
A Carroll student convicted of a UAP still has the option of attending the MIP/UAP Class at Boyd Andrew Community Services. The substance abuse awareness class will consist of MIP and UAP offenders from the community from the ages of 13-20 years, will involve four consecutive Tuesday afternoon classes (3:30-5:00 PM), and cost $75.00 to be paid directly to Boyd Andrew. The telephone number for Boyd Andrew is 443-2343.
