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. At the 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.
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 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).
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.
