Academic Honesty Education Module (AHEM)

All commencing undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students are required to complete the Academic Honesty Education Module (AHEM).

The module takes 15–20 minutes to complete and covers:

the importance of academic integrity to public and professional trust
the University's commitment to and policy on academic honesty
citation and referencing conventions
how similarity detection software is used to inform academic judgement
the kinds of conduct considered to be academically dishonest.

Monitoring student completion of AHEM

In Canvas, you can easily synchronise AHEM completions with your unit of study gradebook.

You only need to select the synchronisation feature once for each unit of study you teach. Once you have done this, AHEM completion data will automatically synchronise with your gradebook on an hourly basis.

Completion data
Tick	Student has passed the AHEM
Cross	Student has not passed but is required to complete the AHEM under University policy (but not faculty or unit of study requirements)
Dash	Student is not required to complete the AHEM under University policy (but may be necessary under faculty or unit of study requirements)

AHEM for continuing students

Faculties and unit coordinators may also require continuing students to complete the AHEM, although it should be seen as complementary to the contextualised education in academic honesty delivered within units of study.

If you coordinate a senior undergraduate unit of study (2000+) or a postgraduate unit of study and wish to include AHEM as an item of assessment, you should direct students to the self-enrolment instructions for continuing students on the Academic integrity page.

Additional resources

In addition to the AHEM, students have access to a wide range of workshops, services and resources to improve their understanding of academic and professional writing. These resources can help them develop skills that will support their learning and, in many cases, help them avoid engaging in plagiarism and academic dishonesty.

Resources are available from the Academic integrity page.
