Timetables - Postgraduate and Juris Doctor 2027
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 2027 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.
