Introduction

About this handbook

The Monash University Undergraduate Handbook provides information on the courses and units offered to undergraduate students at Monash during the 2005 academic year. It is primarily a tool to assist students who have commenced, or are about to commence, their studies in an undergraduate degree to plan each stage of their enrolment in their chosen course, so that they can undertake the required program of study. In particular, it includes the overall requirements that students who commence that course in 2005 must normally satisfy before they are eligible to be awarded that qualification.

Students are also encouraged to regularly check the online version of the undergraduate handbook, as it reflects amendments to courses and units approved by the university after the publication of this printed version. Online publications can be viewed at www.monash.edu.au/pubs.

The university also publishes a postgraduate handbook to assist students who have been accepted for enrolment in a postgraduate or graduate course at Monash University.

Prospective students

Prospective students requiring information on undergraduate courses, admission requirements and related issues should consult the Monash University Undergraduate Course Guide or the Monash International Undergraduate Course Guide. The Monash University Off-Campus Learning Guide contains course and related information for prospective students wishing to study in the off-campus mode. Each of these publications provides broad information about courses as well as more detailed information about the university and each of its campuses.

Current students

Information on services and resources that Monash University provides for current students can be found in the Student Resource Guide. The publication also sets out university and faculty policies; students' rights and obligations; course administration and enrolment information; and principal dates for enrolments, examinations, graduations and other major events.
