2026 Postgraduate Electives Timetable

Published details may be subject to change. Please ensure that you check Allocate+ prior to the commencement of each unit in which you enrol. The Faculty reserves the right to add new elective offerings or withdraw any of the listed units if insufficient teaching resources are available or insufficient student numbers are enrolled in a unit.

Re-enrolment for 2026 Postgraduate Electives

Please see the Re-enrolment for coursework students webpage for details about when re-enrolment opens for any given academic year, including steps to re-enrol and important dates.

Please note if you do not receive a transaction number from WES (starting with a U) then you have not been enrolled correctly. If you require help please submit an Ask Monash request.

The Monash postgraduate law program does not follow traditional semesters. The postgraduate law electives have different teaching periods and have different census, and penalty dates from the rest of the University.  Please refer to the Units with non-standard dates webpage.

Postgraduate Law Elective Waitlist 2026

The 2026 Postgraduate Law Elective Waitlist will open 10am Monday 5 January 2026 for all electives being offered in January and February 2026, with subsequent months being made available on the first Monday of the calendar month, prior to the month in which the unit is listed to commence.

**UPDATE: Due to University closedown, all May units will be available on the waitlist as of 10am Monday 13 April 2026**

Please note that this form requires you to be logged into your Monash Student account in Gmail. If the form gives you an error message about not having permission, you need to log out of all Gmail accounts, then log into only your Monash Student account, before trying again.
