Support and assistance is available to help international students with any problems they may encounter in adapting to life in a foreign culture. If students are having personal difficulties it is important that they seek advice from the international student adviser at the Monash International office. The faculty conducts an orientation and enrolment session specifically for international students at the commencement of first semester. For course advice or study-related problems, students are encouraged to seek assistance throughout the year from the faculty's academic advisers. Appointments to see an academic adviser may be made through the faculty office.
