Spartan Smart

Our Spartan Smart class is an educational program designed for MSU students who have received a sanction through Michigan State University's Dean of Students Office, have been charged with a minor in possession (MIP) or a civil infraction in lieu of an MIP charge, or have been recommended to complete an alcohol or drug education class.

The course offers a supportive, non-judgmental space for students to reflect on their beliefs and behaviors regarding alcohol and cannabis use.
