TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama Student Government Association is excited to announce that registration for the 2025–2026 Capstone Wellness Explorer (CWE) is officially open! The CWE is an engagement-tracking program that seeks to promote student participation in events that fall under one or more of the seven dimensions for student wellness, outlined in the Alabama Model for Student Health and Wellbeing. CWE programming kicks off Sept. 25, 2025, and concludes April 1, 2026.
Event registration is now open and can be accessed from the form available on The Source during the event registration process or on the SGA website. Event submissions will be processed beginning Sept. 2, 2025. Registration for the Individual Path opens today, Aug. 27, 2025, and closes Nov. 3, 2025. All students, regardless of participation in a registered student organization, are encouraged to participate. To opt in, students must complete the Individual Path Opt-In Form, located on the SGA website. Individuals interested in learning more about the CWE and its pathways are encouraged to attend an information session. Organizations interested in tracking CWE points may register for the Organizational Pathway. Organizations’ CWE points total will account for 11% of their 2026–2027 Block Seating Application. To opt into the Organizational Pathway, each organization is required to have at least one representative attend a CWE Information Session. If an organization is unable to attend any scheduled session, contact sgacapstonewellnessexplorer@ua.edu.
