Getting support and advice

We’re here to support you throughout your time at Monash, with our network of services, including advice on responding to an academic progress notice, free counselling, health and wellbeing support, financial assistance, help finding accommodation, disability services and more.

So if you’ve received an email about your academic progress or you’re finding things are getting on top of you, or you just need some advice or assistance, we encourage you to reach out and get the help you need, when you need it.

Have you received an email about your academic progress?

If you fail any units or fail to meet a compulsory course requirement or enrolment condition, this will be considered as part of your academic progress. Your notice of unsatisfactory academic progress will explain what you need to do next, for example, you'll be asked to complete one of two tools: My Progress and Support or My Academic Progress Response. A non-response will be taken seriously by your managing faculty.
