Your book list should be published by the first week of classes.
Once it’s published, you can find it:
You’ll get a book list for the units you’re enrolled in for your upcoming teaching period (not for the entire year).
Can’t see your book list?
If your book list isn't available in Moodle or my.monash by the first week of classes, it might be because:
- you haven't enrolled in units or your enrolment hasn't been processed yet - wait a few hours and try again
- your teacher hasn't made the book list available yet. Consider waiting another day or so and then check again
- you don’t have to buy any books for your units. Maybe you only have journal articles and prescribed readings each week. This is often the case, especially in humanities.
If you have any queries about your book lists, you should contact your Chief Examiner directly:
- by email – contact details are in the unit entry of the Handbook
- through Moodle.
Types of books
Your book list will include books under the following headings:
- Prescribed (or required) texts – these books are essential for your unit
- Recommended texts – these books are useful to own
- Reference texts – you don't need to buy these books as they're only used sometimes for reference.
You can view many texts online, so be sure to use the Library Search to see if an online copy is available.
