UCSB Mandatory Education

All incoming First Year, Transfer, and Education Abroad Program students are required to complete three online modules on alcohol and drug use, prevention of sexual violence, partner violence and stalking, and diversity, equity and inclusion, in addition to a Gaucho FYI Zoom webinar.

Incoming UC Santa Barbara students will automatically receive an email from Vector, the company we have partnered with to provide our online education, with instructions to complete the online courses, including deadlines.

If you have not received an email from automated-message@everfi.net by mid-September, please first confirm that the email is not in your Junk/Spam folder before emailing us at sa-newstudentreq@ucsb.edu.

Please include your name and UCSB perm number so that we can best assist you.

Gaucho FYI is a mandatory Zoom webinar program that has been developed to introduce new students to a variety of health and safety topics. The webinar must be completed during the first three weeks of fall quarter.

Please note: Each of these online modules and the Gaucho FYI webinar are required of all new First Year, Transfer, and Education Abroad Program students. If you do not complete all of these modules and Gaucho FYI by the deadlines, a block will be placed on your account which will prevent you from registering for Winter quarter courses.
