Student Conduct: What you need to know Moodle course

About the 'Student Conduct: What you need to know' course

All students at Warwick are required to complete the university’s "Student Conduct: What you need to know" course, which is designed to support a respectful, inclusive, and safe community for everyone.

The online course introduces the key principles of dignity, respect and shared values that guide behaviour and interactions across our university. It includes practical guidance, reflective activities, and resources to help you understand your role in fostering a welcoming environment. The course also focuses on key issues of consent, relationships, and freedom of speech.

The University has invested in training for students regarding key behaviour and consent issues for a number of years (in-person and online). The Office for Students has published a new condition of registration for higher education providers “E6”, which introduces requirements for universities to protect students from harassment and sexual misconduct. The new condition introduces a new set of requirements affecting all students, academic and academic-related staff, and their institutions. One of those requirement is that we must ensure that we inform our students about our policies so that students understand them. Mandatory training for all students is one of the ways we are achieving this.
