17.1 The award of honours shall be based on the average of the
weighted percentage grades awarded to a candidate in each law unit taken in the
Monash Faculty of Law as part of his or her degree.
17.2 A bonus of 20 per cent will be applied to the mark obtained in `Honours
research subject 512' [LAW5207]. This bonus will apply solely for the purpose
of calculating the award of honours and classification of honours.
17.2.1 A student may not enrol in `Honours research unit 512' (LAW5207) without
the consent of the director, Honours Program to the enrolment and to the
proposed research topic.
17.3 In December of each year, or as soon as practicable thereafter, a list
will be prepared of all candidates who have in that calendar year completed all
the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Laws and are eligible for the
award of honours. This list shall be arranged in order of merit and show the
class of honours recommended in respect of each candidate.
17.3.1 Candidates will only be considered for inclusion in the order of merit
list for honours if a final mark in every unit required for completion of the
requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Laws is available to the Honours

17.3.2 Candidates who complete all the requirements for the degree of Bachelor
of Laws as a result of supplementary or special (deferred) examinations in

candidates awarded a Bachelor of Laws degree with honours in the immediately
preceding calendar year. Such candidates are required to apply to the Honours

supplementary or special (deferred) examination(s). These candidates will not
be included in the order of merit list of the preceding calendar year.
17.3.3 Candidates who do not make application in accordance with resolution
17.3.2 will, as a matter of course, be considered for the award of the degree
of Bachelor of Laws with honours and inclusion in the order of merit list of
the year in which they take the supplementary or special (deferred)
examination(s) if their average weighted percentage grade warrants the award of
the degree of Bachelor of Laws with honours.
17.3.4 Candidates will not be considered for the award of the degree of
Bachelor of Laws with honours if they have already taken out the degree of
Bachelor of Laws from Monash University.
