All computing courses listed in this section are available to students throughout Australia. The courses outlined here are designed so that it is possible to complete all requirements without any on-campus attendance. International enrolments may be accepted from countries where the required library and communication facilities are available.
All off-campus learning students in computing must have an
IBM-compatible personal computer with a CD-ROM drive, printer, modem and access
to the internet via an ISP in order to electronically submit assignment work,
and to communicate with lecturers and other students. As well as access for
assignment submission and communication, some computing units require access to
university or other suitable timesharing computers for use of software which is
not available in the microcomputer environment. Some units have a specific
software requirement, such as a language compiler. The cost of such software is
generally comparable with textbook costs. In most cases, a given software
product will be used in a number of different units.
Due to a quota on government-funded places and other resource limitations, it
is not possible to offer a place to every qualified applicant for an
undergraduate course. Those who do not possess their own computer or modem are
advised to wait until they have received an offer before purchasing this
equipment. Further information is available at
http://www.gscit.monash.edu.au/courses/pcreqs.html.
Computing units are generally assessed by a combination of assignments and a final examination.
Fees paid may be tax deductible in accordance with Section 51(i) of the Income Tax Assessment Act, but students will need to determine their own tax position. Fees are payable by 31 March for the first semester and 31 August for the second semester, and are refundable if withdrawal occurs by these dates.
Commonwealth-supported places (HECS) are available, subject to a quota. Fee-paying places are also available.
In addition to amenities fees, a course fee will apply for
Australian citizens and residents. These courses are fee-paying postgraduate
courses
.
