Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) Information

As a result of a change of policy brought in by the new Commonwealth Government, full-fee university places will no longer be available from the beginning of 2009 for domestic students (Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens, students with humanitarian visas, and Australian permanent residents). This will have an impact on you as a Monash College student, should your results throughout your study of Part 2 Diploma units not reach the required level for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP or the old HECS) in your destination Faculty.

The impact on Monash College domestic students who are scheduled to complete their diploma after June 2008 will be:

1. That you will no longer be able to progress into full-fee paying places at Monash University.
2. In order to obtain a place at Monash University in future, you will be required to compete for a Commonwealth Supported Place at Monash University.
   

The marks required for your course are as follows:
