Transition arrangements for the former Monash South Africa campus (now IIE MSA) - Confirmatory information for students
The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE) became the owner and legal operator of the former Monash South Africa (MSA) campus in April 2019. The campus is now called IIE MSA.
Students who commenced their studies at the IIE MSA campus in Semester One 2019 (or earlier - i.e., when it was the MSA campus) will receive an MSA qualification if they successfully complete all course requirements by the course expiry date applicable to their course
The certificate for the MSA qualification will be issued in the name of Monash South Africa by The IIE, (Note: This is authorised by the Department of Higher Education and Training in South Africa as part of the transition). For the courses offered in cooperation with Monash University*, and successfully completed by the applicable course expiry date, a second certificate will be issued by Monash University.
Students who do not complete their course by the applicable expiry date will need to transfer to an equivalent IIE program and upon successful completion will receive an IIE qualification only.
The course expiry dates for the MSA courses are published on the IIE MSA website.
Students who commenced their studies after Semester One 2019 will receive an IIE qualification if they successfully complete all course requirements set by The IIE. The certificate will be issued in the name of The IIE.
