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.
Links to the course:
Students are automatically enrolled into one version of the course according to their year of study. The course should show in the 'Mandatory' tab on your Moodle homepage.
A small number of students may see two versions listed — you only need to complete the one that corresponds to your current year of study.

FAQs:
> More than one Student Conduct course is showing in my 'Mandatory' tab:
You are only required to complete one Student Conduct course. You will have been automatically enrolled in the correct course for your year of study. If more than one course appears in your tab, this is a technical error that has already been reported. You cannot enrol onto additional courses yourself.
> Does non-completion impact access to my course materials?
No, it does not. If you cannot access course materials on Moodle, please contact your department.
> Do I have to complete the course if I am studying abroad or on a placement year?
Yes. The course contains information relevant to your year abroad.
> Some of the content is already familiar to me. Do I still need to complete it?
Yes. This course is designed to support students at all levels of knowledge and understanding. You may find that some topics feel familiar while others are new or less explored. Engaging fully with each part is important, as it helps us build a shared foundation and ensures everyone can move forward with a clear understanding of the key concepts.
