Remember, you can enter your preferences at any time before 12pm this Tuesday 18 June, and there’s no benefit in submitting your preferences ahead of someone else but the more preferences you add the more likely we’ll be able to give you a timetable that works for you.

Flag lowering ceremonies on National Sorry Day (Monday 27 May)
23 May 2024
National Sorry Day asks us to remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.
In observing this day, we invite all students to attend a flag-lowering ceremony at our Australian campuses at 9am on Monday 27 May, led by Indigenous leaders and senior leaders at Monash.
Event details:
- All ceremonies (Clayton, Caulfield, Peninsula and Parkville campuses) will begin at 9am sharp on Monday 27 May.
- Flag pole locations:
- Caulfield: 900 Dandenong Road at the end of Queens Avenue, (between Building H and Building G) Caulfield map
- Clayton: Scenic Boulevard roundabout, Clayton map
- Parkville: In front of Sissons Building (Building 401, 381 Royal Parade, near Monash Connect entrance), Parkville map
- Peninsula: The bottom entrance of campus (near McMahons Road, behind the George Jenkins Theatre)
- Check the weather beforehand and bring an umbrella with you if required.
- You can register via these respective links for Caulfield, Clayton, Parkville and Peninsula campuses. Registration isn’t required to attend.
National Sorry Day marks the eve of National Reconciliation Week (27 May to 3 June) and this year’s theme asks to demonstrate our support for Indigenous Australians and reconciliation ‘Now more than ever’.
It’s a reminder that we can’t reach true reconciliation until we acknowledge the past so we can move forward together.
We commemorate these days as part of our commitment within our Strategic Plan, Impact 2030 and the Yoo-rrook Justice Commission, to foster a society that recognises, respects and includes Indigenous peoples, cultures and knowledges.
Learn more about these and other significant dates, and visit the Monash Reconciliation Week website to find out how you can get involved with events taking place throughout the week.

Measles is a serious viral infection that causes a high fever, cough, runny nose and a distinctive rash on the body. If left unmanaged it can lead to severe complications, with those who are immunocompromised or pregnant at even higher risk. It is highly contagious and spreads easily through droplets from coughing and sneezing, with symptoms usually appearing 7-14 days (and up to 18 days) after exposure to the virus.
People who have attended the listed exposure sites during the specified dates and times should monitor or symptoms of measles.
Anyone who has attended a listed exposure site on 18 or 19 March who is not fully vaccinated against measles or unsure of their vaccination status should contact the University Health Service triage nurse as soon as possible up to 72 hours after possible exposure on 03 9905 3175 to discuss the need for post-exposure prophylaxis. There is a narrow window of time to be able to administer this.
Monash University’s Chief Medical Officer Dr Ines Rio is in close contact with the Department of Health to ensure all health and safety practices are adhered to.
What if I develop measles symptoms?
If you develop symptoms of measles you should seek urgent medical care. Wear a mask and call ahead to the University Health Service to make sure you can be isolated from others.
You can also contact the Priority Primary Care Centre. The Centre provides urgent (but not emergency care) and is cost-free for those with and without a Medicare card. Please inform the relevant health service that there has been a case of measles at Monash University.
If you are immunocompromised or pregnant and not fully vaccinated for measles, and attended one of the above-mentioned exposure sites on Thursday, 14 March to Tuesday, 19 March, you should contact the University Health Service or your doctor to discuss post-exposure prophylaxis as soon as possible.
Vaccination
Students can check if you have had 2 doses of measles vaccine on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), accessible through MyGov or your childhood vaccination records.
In order to support the prevention of measles, Monash will provide free measles vaccine for all students who do not have two documented doses of measles-containing vaccine (usually MMR) or are unsure of their vaccination status.
Students are encouraged to book for measles vaccine though UHS.
Measles is vaccine preventable with two doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine provided as part of the Australian National Immunisation Program to people born since 1966.
International travel in particular is a risk to anyone who has not been appropriately vaccinated against measles. Anyone planning overseas travel should make sure they have received vaccinations appropriate for travel, including two doses of MMR.
If you are born after 1966 and do not have two documented doses of MMR or are unsure of your vaccination status, you are strongly encouraged to see your doctor or the University Health Service or Monash Health Immunisation Service to get vaccinated as soon as possible. There is no need to have a blood test to check immunity before vaccination. Vaccination is free.
Support available
Your health, safety and wellbeing remains our key priority. If you need support during this time, please reach out to the University counselling services on (03) 9905 3020.
See the latest Department of Health measles alert here. Please be alert for further updates over the following days.

Scams targeting students
13 Mar 2024
There have been recent reports of students contacted by phone by scammers posing as authorities, police investigation teams or employees of DHL international shipping. The scammers are accusing students of being involved in fraudulent activities and demanding large sums of money be transferred into a particular bank account. Sometimes, they demand the students’ address, passport number and banking details.
These scams happen in every country around the world and target many groups of people. Be careful!
Don’t be tricked into giving scammers your personal details or money. The best way to protect yourself is to:
- Be aware of calls from someone threatening you with arrest or deportation in relation to fake passports
- Never give your personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you’re talking to a trusted source
- Contact your bank or financial institution immediately if you think you’ve given your details to a scammer
- Always consider the possibility that uninvited contact from people or businesses might be a scam
- Be aware that scammers can contact you by phone, email, fax, mail, in person or on social networking sites.
If you've been approached by someone you consider suspicious, please contact the Police on 000. You can also report the scam to Monash's Safer Community Unit at security@monash.edu. View more information on what to do when you're targeted for scams.

31 March is the semester one census date
11 Mar 2024
The census date for semester one is 31 March - so what does that mean?
In each teaching period, the census date is the date when the University finalises your enrolment. If you withdraw from a unit after this date, you may have academic or financial penalties.
The census date for semester one is always 31 March.
Normally, this means any changes to your enrolment must be done by 31 March to avoid penalties. Since this year’s census date is during the Easter holiday (29 March to 2 April) when the University is closed, you can still make changes to your enrolment until 2 April. Penalties apply for enrolment changes made from 3 April. You may want to mark these dates on your calendar.
Keep in mind that while you can make changes to your enrolment like withdrawing from units or deciding to go on intermission, you aren’t able to add units anymore for semester one. The last day to add units is always the Friday of week two, which was 8 March for semester one this year.
Planning your holidays already?
06 Mar 2024
Final assessments may feel far away (3–21 June for semester one), but we’re sharing the dates with you now in case you’re starting your holiday planning early.
If you’re enrolled in an on-campus unit, you need to remain available for on-campus exams for the whole exam period, so make sure you book any travel or other major plans for after 21 June. It’s important because if you have an on-campus final assessment, you must sit it on campus as scheduled, unless you’re experiencing exceptional circumstances.
Keep in mind that you can only apply to change the location of your final assessment if:
- you’re participating in a Monash-facilitated program overseas at the time of your scheduled final assessment (e.g. GIG, Monash Global Campus Intensives)
- you are participating in mandatory military service at the time of your scheduled final assessment.
Monitor for symptoms: Measles case identified on Clayton campus
06 Mar 2024
The University has been notified by the South East Public Health Unit that a Monash student who contracted measles was on campus while infectious between 28 February and 6 March 2024.
The student visited the following locations on Clayton campus while potentially infectious:
- 10.30am-3pm, Thursday 29 February: STRIP 2 School of Biomedical Sciences laboratories, Floor 1, Building 76, 19 Innovation Walk
- 11.45am-12.15pm, Thursday 29 February: Café Cinque Lire, Ground Floor, Building 75, 15 Innovation Walk
- 4.10-5.30pm, Thursday 29 February: University Health Service, Ground Floor, Campus Centre
- 7.20-7.50pm, Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 February: The Monash Merchant, 28 Sports Walk
- Holman Hall, Monash Residential Services.
Monash University’s Chief Medical Officer Dr Ines Rio is in close contact with the Department of Health to ensure all health and safety practices are adhered to.
Measles is a serious viral infection that causes a high fever, cough, runny nose and a distinctive rash on the body. If left unmanaged it can lead to severe complications, with those who are immunocompromised or pregnant at even higher risk. It is highly contagious and spreads easily through droplets from coughing and sneezing, with symptoms usually appearing 7-14 days (and up to 18 days) after exposure to the virus.
What if I develop measles symptoms?
If you develop symptoms of measles you should seek urgent medical care. Wear a mask and call ahead to the University Health Service to make sure you can be isolated from others.
You can also contact the Priority Primary Care Centre. The Centre provides urgent (but not emergency care) and is cost-free for those with and without a Medicare card. Please inform the relevant health service that there has been a case of measles at Monash University.
If you are immunocompromised or pregnant and not fully vaccinated for measles, and attended one of the above-mentioned exposure sites on 29 February or 1 March, you should contact the University Health Service or your doctor to discuss post-exposure prophylaxis as soon as possible.
Vaccination
Measles is vaccine preventable with two doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine provided as part of the Australian National Immunisation Program to people born since 1966.
International travel in particular is a risk to anyone who has not been appropriately vaccinated against measles. Anyone planning overseas travel should make sure they have received vaccinations appropriate for travel, including two doses of MMR.
If you are born after 1966 and do not have two documented doses of MMR or are unsure of your vaccination status, please see your doctor or the University Health Service or Monash Health Immunisation Service to get vaccinated as soon as possible. There is no need to have a blood test to check immunity before vaccination.
Support available
Your health, safety and wellbeing remains our key priority. If you need support during this time, please reach out to the University counselling services on (03) 9905 3020.
See the latest Department of Health measles alert here. Please be alert for further updates over the following days.

Temporary traffic diversion to ease campus congestion
23 Feb 2024
Starting Monday 26 February, and spanning the first four weeks of semester one, traffic diversions will be implemented from 9–11am (on Mondays to Thursdays) at the Normanby Road and Howleys Road roundabout, north of Clayton campus.
If you typically commute via this roundabout, traffic control officers will guide you onto Normanby Road. From there, you can reach the N1 car park and campus via Gardiner and Bayview roads.
This temporary measure aims to ease congestion on Research Way within the campus during the busy morning peak, ensuring smooth traffic flow and preventing potential backups that could affect major external roads like Blackburn Road.
If the N1 car park gets fully occupied, please check for other available car park spaces via the Clayton live feed in the Travel & parking tile on my.monash. Extra off-campus parking is also accessible within walking distance at Clayton campus, at 710 and 738 Blackburn Road.
Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated as we introduce this arrangement to enhance traffic management and ease congestion during the semester's commencement.
2024 parking
15 Feb 2024
New parking pricing for 2024 will come into effect on Monday 19 February.
These changes have been implemented to enhance parking management, in response to the anticipated growth in campus attendance in 2024, and the consequent increased demand for parking spaces.

Please be aware of potential hazards, including electrical dangers and falling ceilings. We ask that you exercise caution in affected areas and prioritise your health and safety, particularly on the roads as traffic lights aren’t operating.

Update on increased COVID-19 cases in Victoria
10 Jan 2024
Recent weeks have seen a rapid increase in community transmission and hospitalisation of COVID-19 cases in Victoria, linked to a new variant, JN.1.
The Victorian Government issued an update this week encouraging those at the greatest risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 to protect themselves. This includes people aged 65 and above, people with a disability or chronic medical condition and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Refer to the following advice to protect yourself:
- Practise good infection control – wear a mask, wash your hands, practise good coughing and sneezing etiquette and remember physical distancing.
- Get vaccinated – stay up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccination. There are new monovalent vaccines that are highly effective at preventing severe disease. Check if you are up-to-date for your age and risks and where to get vaccinated.
- Get tested – if you have symptoms, take a rapid antigen test and if positive, acquire antivirals (if eligible) and check out our tips on how to manage your illness.
- Stay at home if COVID-19 positive or unwell – if you have COVID-19, stay at home for at least five days and until you have no symptoms.
- Seek medical support – speak to a general practitioner if symptoms worsen. If you require urgent but not emergency care, Priority Primary Care Centres provide cost free care seven days a week.
- Let fresh air in – open windows and doors if possible as it reduces the spread of the virus or meet outside if you can.
If you’re unwell, you can also book an appointment at one of our University Health Services’ (UHS) clinics. COVID-19 vaccinations will be offered at UHS in the coming weeks.
For more information, check out our COVID-19 factsheet.
Stay safe and take care!

Special consideration and short extensions
25 Jul 2023
As you know, it’s important to plan your time carefully so you meet all assessment deadlines. If you need some help to meet these deadlines, extensions for particular circumstances are available.
If you’re experiencing exceptional circumstances and need a bit more time to submit an assessment, we’ve made some changes to the process.
From Monday 24 July, here’s how to apply for a short extension (two calendar days) or special consideration:
- Applications for both are now submitted using one form - the Short Extension and Special Consideration form.
- All extension requests go through the one form - you can no longer email your request to your Chief Examiner or other staff in your faculty.
- For short extensions, you won’t be asked to provide documents. The first time you apply for a short extension, you won’t need to provide a reason. After that, you will need to provide a reason.
- For special consideration, you must include supporting documents with your application.
- You must apply as soon as possible and no later than 11.55pm on the day of the assessment deadline. This includes applications for scheduled final assessments. Don’t wait until the deadline has already passed.
Redeveloping the Caulfield Plaza, a central hub for the Caulfield Station Precinct
14 Jul 2023
Caulfield Plaza will undergo an exciting revitalisation project, which will modernise and uplift its facilities to ensure it continues to serve Monash University staff, students and the Caulfield community as a thriving retail and social hub. The Plaza will close from Tuesday 1 August and reopen in 2025.
The new Caulfield Plaza will be a welcoming retail space for students, staff and the Caulfield community. Featuring revitalised retail areas, students can look forward to utilising the new Plaza for lunch breaks and socialising with friends.
During the Plaza’s redevelopment period, we recommend visiting the retailers located at the Caulfield campus and along Derby Road, as well as the Caulfield Village Coles (4 Caulfield Boulevard, Caulfield North) located just 450 metres from Caulfield Plaza.
Parking spaces located in the basement of the Caulfield Plaza, ground floor and upper level will remain available until Sunday 13 August, including Open Day on Saturday 5 August. Following Sunday 13 August, car parking will be unavailable at the Plaza for the remainder of the redevelopment period. Alternate parking can be found within Building J at the Caulfield campus or along Sir John Monash Drive.

New scams targeting international students: Protect yourself
31 May 2023
There have been recent reports of international students being targeted for scams that cause financial loss and significant distress. In some cases this results in students losing thousands of dollars. Keep yourself safe by learning more about what these scams are so you can spot them in the future.
How the scams work:
The scammer will call you directly and may pretend to be an authority figure, such as a police officer, a government or immigration official, or a parcel delivery person. They may say that you’re in serious trouble and threaten to get you extradited to face criminal charges unless money is sent to them. They will say that this money is needed to prove your innocence while they investigate your “crime”, when you know you’ve done nothing wrong. Read the Victoria Police information fact sheet to learn more about the scams. More information can be found on Scam Watch.
Protect yourself against these scams:
It’s a frightening experience receiving calls from scammers who will try to use your fear and vulnerability against you. If you ever receive a call from someone making threats about arrests or deportation, it’s a scam.
Hang up immediately and contact Monash Security by phone on +61 3 9902 7777 or security@monash.edu. They can help you to contact the appropriate authorities and assist with your safety and wellbeing. If you would like, they can also refer you to a translator who can provide additional support and counselling during business hours. All reports are confidential.

- Make sure you understand that if you misuse AI tools, it could be considered academic misconduct and penalties may be imposed.
Take a look at the resources below to better understand how generative AI can be used, and how we can support you.
