Respect At UQ

Blackboard access will be removed for students who have not completed the module by 5pm on Sunday 11 August 2024, unless they have in-progress or approved adjustment request.

This means you will not be able to submit assignments, complete Blackboard quizzes, or access lecture slides, recordings, and tutorial materials.

To regain access, complete the module via UQ Essentials. Once you complete the module, access will be reinstated within 20 minutes. If you complete the module between 5pm on Sunday, 11 August and 9am on Monday, 12 August, it could take up to 7 hours to regain access to Blackboard.

You will need to enable pop-ups to launch the module. The module may launch in a new window.  

The module is best viewed on a desktop or laptop computer with the latest version of Chrome. The latest version of other common browsers such as Explorer, Firefox and Safari may also be used, however if you have trouble launching the module from any of these, we recommend reopening it in Chrome.

If you are having trouble progressing the module or getting ‘stuck’ on an activity, we recommend:

• Clearing your browser history
• Opening the module in a new browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome)
• Opening the module on a different device (e.g laptops, tablet). 

If you are still unable to progress through the module, please contact AskUs.

The module includes one video which is hosted on YouTube. You may have difficulties accessing YouTube from certain countries. However, you should be able to watch the video once you have arrived in Australia, and you can complete the module without watching the video. 

Conversations about consent and sexual misconduct are important but they can be personally challenging as well. Sometimes these topics can raise thoughts and feelings about past experiences we have had.  

The Respect at UQ module has been designed as a safe, educational tool. The content of the module, and the interactive scenarios included in the module are of the same level of detail that you would encounter in mainstream media.  

If you have concerns about the impact of completing the module on your wellbeing you can submit a Respect at UQ Training Adjustment Request. Please be assured that requests for support and adjustments will be treated with respect and confidentiality. 

Request an adjustment 

The Sexual Misconduct Support Unit (SMSU) can provide support and information to people who have experienced sexual misconduct, and to people supporting a victim/survivor of sexual misconduct. You can contact SMSU on (07) 3443 1000 or book an appointment online.  

When you submit the Respect at UQ Training Adjustment Request via Unitask you should receive an email confirming your request. You can then expect to receive an email with the outcome of your request within 5 business days.  

If you have requested assistance to complete the module in an accessible format you may be contacted by a member of the UQ Respect team to clarify which format you need the module provided in. Please note that if you do not provide this information within 5 business days of being contacted by UQ Respect, your request for adjustment may be cancelled.  

Please note that students can only submit 1 request for adjustment via Unitask. If you have already received an adjustment (e.g. a deferral) and you require ongoing adjustments please contact uqrespect@uq.edu.au.  

No. If you completed the module in Semester 1, 2024 or Summer Semester 23/24 and you can see your results under ‘Marks’ in UQ Essentials, you do not need to complete the module again.

If you have successfully completed the Respect at UQ module you should be able to view your results under ‘Marks’ in the left-hand tab of UQ Essentials. 

If you have completed the Respect at UQ module and passed the final quiz, but your results have not been recorded in UQ Essentials, please send a screenshot of your final quiz results to uqrespect@uq.edu.au. 

It can take up to 20 minutes to regain access to Blackboard after completing the module. The first time you try and log onto Blackboard after completing the module you may need to clear the cache or open Blackboard in a private/incognito window. You will only have to do this the first time you open Blackboard; it will then open normally again in your regular browser.

If you have completed the Respect at UQ module but are still receiving pop-up notifications, please contact AskUs online or via phone: 07 3346 4312 or 1300 738 082.
