Part-time
students are expected to proceed through their course at half the rate of
full-time students. Part-time evening classes are available on the Caulfield
campus for most courses on that campus. At the Clayton, Gippsland and Monash
Malaysia campuses, classes are available only during the day. However, classes
for the Graduate Diploma in Digital Communications and the Masters in Digital
Communications are held in the early evening at the Clayton campus.
At the Peninsula campus, classes are available only during the day. However,
the tutorial arrangements for the Graduate Diploma in Computing held at
Peninsula may be negotiated between the tutor and the students.
At Caulfield, the part-time evening classes normally commence at 4 pm or
6 pm. Additionally, some provision is made in the Bachelor of Computing
for day-release study, ie lectures immediately followed by tutorials on the
same day. This mode of study is restricted to part-time students only and there
are a limited number of places available.
Part-time undergraduate students should note that they are required to attend
examinations at the same time as full-time students. In some instances, this
also applies to students in graduate programs. If in doubt, students should
check with the faculty office.
All
courses offered by the Gippsland School of Computing and Information
Technology, with the exception of research degrees, are available to students
for part-time study by distance education. These courses are designed so that
it is possible to complete all requirements without any on-campus attendance.
Some subjects offered by the School of Information Management and Systems are
also available by distance education -- see the school entry. Distance
education applicants are normally required to be at least 21 years of age.
All distance education students in computing courses must have an
IBM-compatible personal computer with a printer, a modem, and internet access
in order to complete and electronically submit assignment work and to
communicate with lecturers and other students.
The faculty has many students based in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong completing their degrees under twinning arrangements or by distance learning. Offshore students are subject to the same university, faculty and course regulations as students based in Australia.
