Course Transfer Procedures

Purpose

Provides guidance to staff and students on the criteria for transferring into the Faculty of Education’s coursework programmes.

Scope

This policy applies to:

• All campuses of operation
• All Faculty of Education coursework programmes at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level
• All currently enrolled Monash University coursework students

Procedure statement

The Faculty of Education will determine whether places are available for course transfers. This course transfer procedure does not apply to students seeking to change their fee status or those wishing to transfer to Monash from another institution.

A student applying to transfer into a Faculty of Education coursework programme must meet the published admission requirements for that course. This includes any required prerequisites (e.g. English language requirements) and, where relevant, non‑academic selection assessments (e.g. MTeST or CASPER).

The Faculty of Education will assess course transfer applications against the University’s minimum selection criteria. In addition:

• Intra‑Faculty of Education transfers (existing Faculty of Education of Education students) must have achieved a minimum average of 60% in their current year of study.
• Inter‑Faculty of Education transfers (students from other Monash faculties) must also have achieved a minimum average of 60% in their current year of study.
• For transfers into a double degree with Education, students must have achieved a minimum average of 65% in their current study. The minimum requirements of the partner Faculty of Education will also apply.

Admission via course transfer is competitive. Please note the following:

• Selection thresholds may be higher than the minimum requirements stated above.
• Applicants who do not meet the minimum criteria will not receive an offer of transfer.
• Students with incomplete or outstanding results will not receive a course‑transfer outcome until all grades have been finalised.
• Credit can only be granted where it is relevant to the new course.
