Students enrolling in courses within the faculty are allocated home campuses. This is usually the campus on which the course is principally taught. It is expected that students will undertake their studies on their home campus. Students wishing to take studies from a campus other than their home campus must obtain the approval of the faculty.
Students may be able to undertake part of their studies at an overseas campus. Students may chose to study a semester or more at the Monash University Malaysia campus. Similarly, students whose home campus is at Monash Malaysia may choose to undertake some of their studies at Clayton campus. Students wishing to take studies from a campus other than their home campus must obtain the approval of the faculty.
Intending
students are advised that personal computers are used in a wide range of
courses within the Faculty of Information Technology. Students are strongly
advised to purchase, or have high-quality access to, an IBM-compatible
computer. Students intending to purchase a computer should consult the faculty
before purchase.
While it is not necessary to own a personal computer to study successfully, it
can be a significant advantage. It is strongly recommended that students do not
buy their own computer before the commencement of their course as doing so may
lead to the acquisition of an unsuitable model.

school also has its own home pages. Refer to the school profiles section in

In many cases, lecture notes are available on the internet to all enrolled
students. Every student is given an email account upon enrolment. All Monash
students may have full internet access at any Australian on-campus student
laboratory. Off-campus access (via modems) is restricted to Monash websites and
services only. Off-campus distributed learning students and students with a
disability may apply for an external modem account with full internet access.
For further information regarding computer accounts, printing, email, internet
and modem access, see http:// its.monash.edu.au/students or contact the
ITS help desk.
Internet access can be provided by the university or its offshore partner
institution at cost to the student. Students can purchase access from the
appropriate computer centre for their campus on an hourly basis.
