Part-time, off-campus learning and offshore studies

Part-time students

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, Berwick, Gippsland, Peninsula 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 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.

Off-campus learning students

All courses offered by the Gippsland School of Computing and Information Technology are available to students for part-time study by off-campus learning. These courses are designed so that it is possible to complete all requirements without any on-campus attendance. Some on-campus attendance is required for research degrees. Some units offered by the School of Information Management and Systems are also available by off-campus study - see the school entry.
All off-campus students in IT 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.

International off-campus learning students

International students who wish to apply for off-campus learning should visit http://www.celts.monash.edu.au for an off-campus learning application form or call 1800 671 845 (within Australia) for a copy of the off-campus Learning Guide (including application form).

Offshore students

The faculty has many students based in Singapore and Hong Kong completing their degrees by off-campus learning courses offered in collaboration with partner organisations. Offshore students are subject to the same university, faculty and course regulations as students based in Australia. Email gscit@infotech.monash.edu.au for details of arrangements.
