When do I need to complete this module?

You should complete the compulsory modules before classes start, but we’ll send you a reminder (with a deadline) if you haven’t completed them. If you don’t complete them by the deadline, you’ll lose access to Moodle until they are completed.

About the module

In this module, you’ll learn about:

  • what you can expect as a student in the Monash community
  • the expectations of students at Monash, including your responsibilities around alcohol
  • skills to intervene as an active bystander
  • the principles of affirmative consent
  • safer sex practices
  • how to engage safely with relationships online
  • where to seek support at Monash.

This module is not graded, so even after completion, the grade will always be 0%. Once the module is completed, your progress will show as 100% on the Compulsory Units Portal (CUP) dashboard. If you signed into CUP with your Monash student account, your progress will also be recorded in the Web Enrolment System (WES).

Record of completion

Compulsory modules are not graded, so your grade will remain 0% even after completion. But, once you’ve completed the module, your progress will show as 100% on the CUP dashboard.

Using your student email account: Best to log into CUP with your Monash student email account. That way your record of completion will also appear in WES (after about 15 minutes).

Using your personal email account: If you log into CUP with your personal email account (or a Monash University Accommodation account), your record of completion won’t automatically appear in WES. You’ll need to request that we merge your personal CUP account with your Monash student account by emailing servicedesk@monash.edu with the subject line CUP merge required.

You can check which email address is linked to your account by looking under the profile icon in the top left corner of CUP.

What happens if I don’t complete the module?

If you don’t complete compulsory modules by the deadline, you'll lose access to Moodle until the modules are completed. So make sure you complete them on time.

Graduate research students

The Respect at Monash (HDR) module is part of Monash's broader commitment to building a community of respect. In this module, you’ll learn about your rights and responsibilities, respectful relationships, and appropriate conduct when representing Monash.
