itMatters

As part of UNCP’s commitment to your well-being and success, all new students are required to complete two itMatters online courses focused on sexual assault and alcohol misuse prevention. These courses provide important information to help you navigate college life with confidence, make informed decisions and take care of yourself and your community.

What to Expect

  • Two required courses will appear in your BraveWeb account after you attend orientation.

  • You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to access and complete your courses once they’re available.

  • Each course takes approximately 1–2 hours to complete.

  • You can complete them in multiple sittings at your own pace.

  • Deadline to complete both courses: July 31, 2025

Why itMatters?

The itMatters modules focus on key topics like health, safety and responsible decision-making.

These courses are here to help you navigate the transition to college life safely and confidently. By completing the modules, you’ll be better prepared to:

  • Understand your rights and responsibilities as a member of the UNCP community

  • Recognize and prevent situations that could lead to harm — whether to yourself or others

  • Make informed choices around alcohol use and consent

  • Support a campus culture rooted in respect, accountability and care

Taking the time to complete these modules is an important step in creating a safer, healthier UNCP — for yourself and for everyone around you.
