All incoming University of Maryland students must complete two online education programs to help set them up for success. The programs are:
- You-MD Substance Use Prevention Training
- Sexual Assault Prevention Program

Students will receive an email notification reminder to complete Part 2 of the Sexual Assault Prevention Program to fulfill this training requirement.
