OSARP approaches student accountability from an educational, developmental, and restorative perspective. We strive to extend this approach into our Educational Programs to foster a safe and engaging learning environment for students, recognized student organizations, and student groups. In these programs, OSARP wants our students to reflect on the situation that led to the assigned program as well as explore the opportunities for learning and growth moving forward.
Substance Education Programs
OSARP typically assigns a substance education program when a student is found responsible in an OSARP process for violating Alcohol and/or Drug policy. The assigned outcome is typically influenced by the policy violation(s) and any needs that are identified during the OSARP process. Our goal is for students to gain knowledge that promotes informed decision-making about whether to use a substance again, and to provide risk-reduction strategies should they make that choice for themselves.
OSARP can assign the following substance education programs as the result of an OSARP process:
- By the Numbers
- Calling the Shots
- Wellness Coaching (Substance Misuse)
For more information on these substance education programs, including a description of each program, see the "Individual Student Case Outcomes" portion of the Student Handbook.
Personal Success Programs
OSARP typically assigns a personal success program as an outcome when a student is found responsible for a policy violation(s) and shares needs related to their personal development. Our goal with personal success programs is to provide facilitated experiences for students to explore their personal values, reflect on the impacts their actions have on their communities, and plan to engage in future behaviors that align with their personal goals.
OSARP can assign the following personal success programs as the result of an OSARP process:
- Values in Action
- Moving Forward
- Mentor Experience
For more information on these personal success programs, including a description of each program, see the "Individual Student Case Outcomes" portion of the Student Handbook.
If you are a volunteer Mentor looking for resources to use with your student, see the "Mentor Experience Volunteer Resources" portion of OSARP's website.
