IntroDUCKtion
Educational Modules
Over the course of the summer, expect to receive information through your Stevens email regarding required educational online modules on topics including alcohol and other drugs, mental health, Title IX, hazing and the Stevens Honor System. These online modules are one way to educate all members of the Stevens community regarding our expectations for a healthy campus culture and to equip you with the skills and resources to make thoughtful decisions as a Stevens student. Not only does Stevens require students to complete these modules, but the information in many of these modules is required by state and federal mandates for new college students. New students must complete all modules by September 2, 2025.
Stevens Honor System
The Honor Board is responsible for ensuring that the undergraduate community upholds the Stevens Honor System. As part of your Pre-Orientation and welcome to Stevens, you need to complete the appropriate Honor System Modules in Canvas. By completing this module, you will have completed one part of your induction into the Stevens Honor System. The second part of your induction will take place during the Annual New Student Convocation. To complete this module, please log into my.stevens.edu/ and click on the "Canvas" icon in the left icon grid. Once you are in Canvas, please find and complete the "Honor System Seminars" course. Please reach out to the Honor Board Executive Board at honor@stevens.edu with any questions.
