These are listed in the Monash University electronic publication Admission to Courses . Eligibility for credit is assessed by faculties on an individual basis. It is possible to study a subject not offered at Monash University at another university and include it as part of your Monash degree. Complementary course enrolments are arranged when you enrol in your faculty. Assessment Assessment methods vary depending on the subjects you enrol in, and may include assignments, essays, tutorial participation, laboratory reports and practical work, or written and oral tests.
Many subjects have formal examinations at the end of each semester.
Details about assessment methods are included in the Undergraduate Courses and Subjects handbook. It is important to know the difference between these three terms. Deferment is what you do when you have initially been offered a place and wish to defer your studies without enrolling until the following year. Discontinuation is when you have started studying and for whatever reason wish to stop attending a subject or a course before the end of semester. It is most important that you formally discontinue your studies by informing your faculty, thus excluding automatic failure, paying HECS for subjects you do not complete, or exclusion from the university.
