Units indexed by faculty Essential information for arts undergraduate studentsWhere to get help and advice in the facultyThe faculty has administrative offices on the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton and Gippsland campuses, as well as contact staff on the Malaysian and South African campuses. Students are encouraged to visit or contact these offices if they require assistance with any matter relating to their studies with the faculty. Contact details and location information for all campuses are listed in the ‘Faculty structure and contacts’ entry earlier in this section, or visitwww.arts.monash.edu.au/contact.html. Information on course structure, unit choices and an online progression check request facility are available in the 'Course and unit information' section of the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current /admin/courseadvising/. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advice regarding any problems they experience with studies or workload. The faculty has experienced course progression advisers who can assist students with all administrative inquiries or direct them to the correct service for academic difficulties. At most times during the year, students who wish to speak with a faculty course adviser will need to make an appointment; students should come to these interviews as prepared as possible. Students should observe the relevant course requirements listed in this handbook to avoid getting into course-related difficulties, which might result in a delay in completing their course. Language and LearningAs well as seeking course advice, students can make use of Language and Learning (LLS-Arts), located in the Menzies building on Clayton Campus. LLS-Arts assists students with problems concerning study, learning and the use of English in the faculty.

Faculty mentoring and adviceTo help students with academic difficulties arising from a range of personal or academic issues, members of the faculty’s Transition and Student Progress Committee (TaSP) provide a mentoring service and assist with advice about, and referrals to, appropriate university support services. Contact detailsTelephone: +61 3 9905 9789 or email TASP@arts.monash.edu.au. University support servicesThe university offers a wide variety of support services for students. For a comprehensive list of these services refer to other Monash publications at www.monash.edu.au/pubs/. Unit codes – areas of study (prefix table)The following is a list of the alpha prefixes that identify the ‘discipline’ areas that are used in the unit codes for the Faculty of Arts (some disciplines do not have an individual prefix allocated; check the ‘Schools, centres and disciplines’ entry later in this section). A discipline is an area of study, eg history or English. Students can use this list to help them locate the units for a particular discipline in the unit section of the handbook. At Monash, unit codes are made up of a three-letter prefix followed by four numbers. The three-letter prefix identifies the discipline, and the first of these four numbers refers to the year level of the unit: ie AIS1010 is a first-year-level Australian Indigenous studies unit, and CRI2010 is a second-year-level criminology unit. Occasional reference is made to desirable or prerequisite studies in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) – those students who did not study the VCE should seek advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE. Below is a list of disciplines and their unit code prefixes. Prefix Discipline
