Cancellation of Units Policy

This policy applies to all coursework students

The Cancellation of Units Policy sets out the mechanisms for notifying students that a unit has been cancelled. In the event that the University is unable to offer an advertised unit because of a low level of enrolments or unforeseeable circumstances such as the death, serious illness or unavailability of a staff member or members, it may be necessary to cancel the unit(s) concerned. The University will normally give a minimum of one week’s notice prior to the commencement of teaching of a unit when cancelling.

Students affected will be advised via their University email account of the cancellation and the reason for the cancellation.

Faculties:

  • may also elect to notify students by hardcopy letter
  • will also post notification of cancellation on its student administration notice board
  • will inform you how to enrol in an alternative unit.

Cancellation of classes within a unit

If circumstances require the cancellation of classes, students will be notified within two weeks of the start of the unit. As with the cancellation of a complete unit, not just the class, students will be notified via their Monash student email account.
