Academic integrity requirement
From 2026, Year 12 graduates must complete an academic integrity course during senior schooling. This is part of the QCE eligibility requirements.
The QCAA issues a QCE to an eligible student when they have accrued the set amount of learning, at the set standard, in a set pattern, while meeting literacy, numeracy and academic integrity requirements. The legislative framework for the QCE is defined in the QCAA Act and QCAA Regulation.
When reading this section, it is important to note the interconnectedness of information and read relevant subsections to ensure a full understanding of the QCE requirements. This is particularly important when identifying QCE credit for learning options and any additional rules or relevant conditions.
For advice about QCE eligibility:
- students and parents/carers should contact myQCE@qcaa.qld.edu.au
- all others should contact QCEforschools@qcaa.qld.edu.au.
