Enrolment

Enrolment is the main step in starting your Monash studies. At enrolment you can meet a faculty course adviser, ask questions and discuss your unit selection and course structure

Pre-enrolment – authority to enrol

Closer to the time of enrolment, and if you are eligible to enrol (ie. you have sent your acceptance form and payment for your full offer to International Recruitment Services), you will receive an official enrolment notification from International Recruitment Services. This notification will be emailed to you and is called 'Authority to Enrol'. In order to enrol you must bring a copy of this 'Authority to Enrol' email with you on the date of your enrolment. You will also be advised of the steps you must undertake to complete the enrolment process.

If you are unable to attend enrolment, email us at latereg@adm.monash.edu.au.

If you have accepted one of the following courses you must arrive on time. Late enrolment will not be granted for:

Frequently asked questions for Semester 1/2009 intake

What happens if I cannot attend the nominated enrolment date?

You must apply for permission to enrol late by emailing latereg@adm.monash.edu.au.

Please include the following information in your email:

• Your family name, given name and Monash student ID number
• An explanation as to why you cannot attend enrolment
• Expected date you can come to Monash to register and enrol (University opening hours are 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday).

Your request will be assessed and a response will be emailed within a minimum of three working days.  Late enrolment is subject to approval by the faculty and permission is not guaranteed.

Attention: Only students with written permission from International Recruitment Services will be allowed to enrol after the nominated enrolment date. Early, Proxy or online enrolments will not be accepted under any circumstances for international students.

If you have accepted one of the following courses you must arrive on time. Late enrolment will not be granted for:

• All courses from the Faculty of Business and Economics
• All postgraduate Law courses
• Bachelor of Biomedical Science (course code 2230).

Where do I go to enrol if I have been permitted to arrive late?

If you have been permitted to enrol late, your late approval email will advise you of the time and location of your enrolment.

What if I am a continuing student?

If you just completed a course with Monash and are beginning another, you must enrol in person. This is because you are beginning a new course and are therefore not re-enrolling as you may have before. You cannot use WES or Allocate+, you must attend enrolment in person. No proxy or online enrolments are permitted for international students.

What if I cannot attend the first day of semester -- Monday, 2 March 2009?

Enrolment after commencement of classes is not allowed.  Students who are facing exceptional circumstances may apply for arrival after 2 March 2009. Please apply for late enrolment as previously stated.

By arriving after the semester starting date, you will miss enrolment, orientation and essential academic activities including lectures, tutorials, class preparations and preliminary reading. This may have a significant impact on your studies and your results. It is your responsibility to ensure that you discuss with your lecturer/tutor any work you have missed. Class availability will be limited and you may not get first preference with your timetable and electives.

Due to recent high demand for Business and Economics courses, the faculty is very strict with enrolment dates.

Please be prepared, if you cannot attend the nominated enrolment date the faculty may not permit you to enter the course.

Can I leave Australia after enrolment?

Monash does not encourage students to leave Australia between enrolment and the commencement of classes. This is because you will miss important orientation and information sessions. If you are considering returning home after enrolment, please speak to your Faculty when you enrol. Monash will not be responsible for any consequences should you choose to leave against our recommendations.

Orientation

Orientation (or 'O Week' as it is often called) is a compulsory program which consists of information sessions, tours and events designed to help you get to know Monash University and particularly your campus.
