Requirements
Monash on my mind ...
All images appearing in the my.monash portal are subject to approval by the University, with a preference for images that:
- have a Monash University context (eg a group of students at a particular campus, University buildings or landscapes, learning and teaching or club activities, etc)
- are natural, not digitally generated or significantly altered
- incorporate people wherever possible
- create a sense of confidence and optimism
- convey some sense of the University being culturally diverse and active, innovative, engaged, dynamic, accessible and full of integrity.
Here are some suggestions: club events, cultural activities, around campus, study interests, sporting events, friends having fun … Check out the login page by refreshing it a few times to get a feel for the sort of thing we're after.
