Commencing students: complete your Respectful Behaviour module in T3

Here at Deakin, we’re all about creating a safe, respectful and inclusive learning and working environment. This is the foundation of our culture and is also crucial to your study success.

Every member of the Deakin community has a part to play in ensuring that our university meets this standard. So, as one of our commencing students, we ask that you complete the Respectful Behaviour module – a short online unit that discusses some important issues.

What you’ll learn from the module

The Respectful Behaviour module comprises five topics:

  1. Respect at Deakin
  2. Understanding gender and gender inequality
  3. Family violence and sexual harm
  4. Consent in respectful relationships
  5. Helpful information.

How to complete the module

All commencing students are automatically enrolled in this module. You can access it through the units section of DeakinSync or your Cloud Deakin unit list.

To successfully complete the module, you must answer all the questions in topics two, three and four at an 80% pass rate. You should complete the module during your first trimester of study at Deakin.

Thank you for contributing to Deakin in this positive way!

We value your feedback

If you have any questions, concerns or feedback about the module, please email the Respectful Behaviours team at [email protected].

Support is available
