The University of Alabama is excited to offer UA Thrive courses, a suite of online education modules, to all new students.

UA Thrive courses (provided by Vector Solutions) will educate students before they arrive on campus about important campus-specific information through five learning modules:

AlcoholEdu

Weeks of Welcome

Just as commencement ceremonies serve as a ritual marking the completion of study, new student convocation is a ritual to signal the beginning of your college career. Participation is expected for all first-year students and registration for Weeks of Welcome will take place after you move into your residence hall.
