Welcome to the Wildcat Family!

Get Personalized Feedback with eCHECKUP TO GO
In addition to your academics and getting involved in all the UofA community has to offer, your health and wellbeing are very important pieces to your success as a Wildcat. The interactive, online eCHECKUP TO GO programs provide personalized feedback on your substance use.
All UofA first-year students are expected to complete the alcohol and cannabis programs by 9/30/26, regardless of substance use. The Dean of Students will email program information to incoming students near the start of the semester. Take a screenshot of your 12-digit User UID provided during the program for your records. At the conclusion of the program, verify that you completed eCHECKUP TO GO by clicking the yellow, “Verify Completion” button and entering your name and email, which are not linked to your responses.
