La Trobe is committed to building a safe and respectful learning and working environment for all students and staff, based on shared values of academic integrity, cultural safety and respect for all members of our community.
To ensure you understand and can adhere to your expectations and requirements at La Trobe you are required to complete compulsory modules in your first week of studies.
Each module takes around two hours to complete and you should enrol in them in your first teaching period so you can complete them as soon as possible.
It’s important that you complete the modules early. If you don’t, your ability to access your results or graduate may be impacted.
What are the compulsory modules?
Academic Integrity Module (AIM) (LTU0AIM)
The Academic Integrity Module introduces you to La Trobe’s values and academic integrity standards. This is important because you’ll learn what academic misconduct and plagiarism are and how to avoid them. The module is completed in four parts and is scenario based, so you’ll be presented with some academic misconduct cases and will be asked to think critically about different tricky situations.
Respectful Behaviour and Culture Module
The Respectful Behaviour and Culture Module is part of the University’s long-standing commitment to fostering a safe, respectful and inclusive community free of sexual harm, discrimination and violence. The module will cover topics such as sex, gender and sexuality, sexual and reproductive rights, gender equality, family violence, respectful relationships and consent. You’ll need to complete seven quizzes to finish the module.
Wominjeka La Trobe (ABS0WOM)
Wominjeka La Trobe introduces you to Indigenous Australian history, culture and customs. Cultural heritage education is valuable for everyone, and forms part of La Trobe’s commitment to teaching, learning and research within the area of Indigenous Australian studies. The module will ask you to think critically about your own values, attitudes and beliefs.
