Apart from paying fees, international students are treated in the same way as Australian students. There is a large range of support services available at Monash to assist international students and details of these, plus pre-departure information and information on studying at Monash and living in Melbourne, are outlined in a comprehensive `Handbook for international students' prepared and distributed by the Monash International office. For advice and assistance with queries relating to their studies or any personal issues, students are encouraged to discuss the matter with an appropriate member of the Law faculty staff who, depending on the nature of the concern, may be a member of the academic staff, the registrar, assistant registrar or an administrative officer.
