On
the recommendation of the school graduate coordinator and with the approval of
the Committee for Graduate Studies, the faculty may, in special circumstances,
grant advanced standing (or credit) for postgraduate work already completed at
Monash University or at another tertiary institution, including overseas
universities. Advanced standing will not normally be granted for subjects
undertaken in a course where the student has subsequently taken out a degree or
an award of any kind.
Irrespective of advanced standing limits outlined below, students will normally
always be required to complete any core subjects specified for their program.
Advanced
standing (or credit) in a postgraduate program in the Faculty of Arts must be
applied for at the time of entry into the program and will not be granted
retrospectively. Full details of subjects for which advanced standing is sought
must be provided, by means of an official transcript, with grades (and marks,
if possible). The applicant should also indicate the number of points each
subject is worth, the total number of points for the whole course and what
percentage the subject in question was of the total course.
Outlined below are the criteria for granting of advanced standing in each
graduate program in the Faculty of Arts. Note that these criteria apply to
students starting their program in 1998 or subsequent years; they will not be
applied retrospectively to students who started before 1998.
Advanced standing will not normally be granted in the faculty certificate or graduate certificate, unless the applicant has completed one or more of the subjects listed under the certificate but has not taken out an award or a degree for the subject(s) in another program.
Students
who have completed relevant subjects at fourth-year level may apply for a
maximum of 50 per cent advanced standing. Advanced standing will not normally
be granted for subjects undertaken in a course where the student has
subsequently taken out a degree or an award of any kind.
Students with a relevant faculty certificate (refer to guidelines in each
program) completed at fourth-year level with grades of at least credit average
may obtain a maximum of 50 per cent (24 points) credit towards their graduate
or postgraduate diploma. No student may obtain more than 50 per cent credit in
total.
Students who have completed relevant subjects at fourth-year level with grades of credit or above may apply for a maximum of 50 per cent credit. Advanced standing will not normally be granted for subjects undertaken in a course where the student has subsequently taken out a degree or an award of any kind. Students undertaking a masters qualifying (MQual) with a research component program will not normally be granted advanced standing for, or exemption from, the research component.
Students who have completed relevant subjects at fifth-year level with grades of distinction or above may apply for a maximum of 50 per cent credit. Advanced standing will not normally be granted for subjects undertaken in a course where the student has subsequently taken out a degree or an award of any kind.
Advanced standing will not normally be granted for the coursework component in a 66 per cent masters research degree.
