my.monash Portal
The my.monash portal is a one-stop personalised web page for each student and staff member at Monash. It
provides a gateway to all the relevant web-based academic, administrative, social and support resources that
are of most benefit to you.
You can access your portal from any computer that is connected to the Internet, whether you are on campus or
sitting in an Internet café in the Greek islands.
By logging in to your portal at https://my.monash.edu.au/ you can:
Check your Monash email account
Access your portal subject pages
Re-enrol
Check the library channel for overdue books, or reserve that textbook you desperately
need!
View your internet usage
…and much, much more!
To access your own my.monash portal, you will need your AuthCate username and password and know how to
operate a web browser. If you haven't already received your AuthCate details, you can contact your nearest ITS
Helpdesk for assistance. NB. Password changes will not be provided by email or fax.
The importance of checking your Monash email account
All hardcopy correspondence is sent to the address that you list as your postal mailing address. Additionally, all
students are issued with a Monash University email account. This is a common means by which the university
will communicate with you on a range of administrative matters. It is an essential requirement that you check
your Monash email account on a regular basis. All students agree to this requirement when they enrol and re-
enrol.
Please include your ID number with your name and address whenever you write to the university, and have your
ID number ready when you telephone. When corresponding with the university via email, you must use your
Monash email account. Using this account helps to ensure the identity and validity of the communication, as
your personal AuthCate details are required. The university will communicate with you through the Monash
email account, even if your inquiry is lodged from an external email account.

IMPORTANT ENROLMENT INFORMATION
When enrolling and allocating into units, students are responsible for ensuring that they are able to attend all
scheduled teaching activities required to study each unit.
Students who are unable to attend scheduled classes throughout the semester should amend their enrolment by
the published census date (to avoid any penalty), and withdraw from the unit so they will not be disadvantaged
by their inability to attend. If students choose to continue with the unit they accept full responsibility for this
decision and undertake to make their own arrangements to ensure they keep up to date with the unit.
No alternative arrangements will be made by the Faculty.
Note: The Faculty of Business and Economics does not permit students to add units after the end of teaching
week 2 of the relevant semester.

Timetable (Allocate+)
Allocate+ is the online system Business and Economics students use to allocate themselves into lectures,
tutorials and laboratories. Allocate+ provides you with a personalised, clash-free timetable and includes you on
the official class list.
Business and Economics students studying via the following are not required to use Allocate+:
Off-campus Learning (Distance Education)
Flexible Learning
On-Line
Open Learning
If you are studying a combination of units on and off campus, you are required to allocate into your on campus
unit(s) only.
Important Enrolment Information
When enrolling and allocating into units, students are responsible for ensuring that they are able to attend all
scheduled teaching activities required to study each unit.
Students who are unable to attend scheduled classes throughout the semester should amend their enrolment,
by the published census date (to avoid any penalty), and withdraw from the unit so they will not be
disadvantaged by their inability to attend. If students choose to continue with the unit they accept full
responsibility for this decision and undertake to make their own arrangements to ensure they keep up to date
with the unit.
No alternative arrangements will be made by the Faculty.
Change your enrolled units
Allocate+ allocates you into the teaching activities for a unit you are enrolled in. To enrol in a new unit or
change an enrolled unit, access WES (Web Enrolment System)
(http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/enrolments/wes/wes.html). After you enrol in units or change your units, you
are required to access Allocate+ and timetable into your newly enrolled units. Newly enrolled units will
displayed up to 48 hours after initial enrolment or variation when you re-access Allocate+.
Activity groups
Each unit can comprise a number of activity groups (ie. lectures, tutorials and laboratories), and you are
required to allocate into each activity for that unit.
Auto allocate
In instances where only one class time is available, Allocate+ will automatically allocate students into classes
where there is no choice to be made. In the case where, for example, there is only one lecture time but a choice
of three tutorials, you will be automatically allocated into the lecture but you will be required to allocate yourself
into a tutorial.
Allocation Adjustment Mode
DBA, Graduate, Honours and MBA students will be using Allocation Adjustment Mode only. Allocation
Adjustment Mode allows you to allocate directly into any class as long as you are enrolled in the unit and there
is a place available.
- 11 -
Preference Entry Mode
Undergraduate students at all campuses as well as honours/postgraduate students at Clayton campus will
be using Preference Mode only. A unit may consist of a number of activity groups, ie. lectures, tutorials, etc.
You are required to enter up to six time preferences for each activity group in each unit (if six preferences are
available). If not, you must enter as many as are available. The one exception is if only one activity is offered
students will be auto allocated (see auto allocate above).
Access is easy
Allocate+ runs on the World Wide Web and can therefore be accessed from anywhere, as long as you have an
internet connection and a PC with Netscape version 4 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 (or later).
You may use the computers in the computer labs within the University as long as you have your AuthCate
username and password.
Please read this information carefully, and ensure that you carry out the steps required by the due
dates. Failure to allocate for each unit will result in your personal timetable being incomplete.
How to access Allocate+
1. Log onto http://allocate.cc.monash.edu.au/
2. Click on Student Login.
3. Enter your AuthCate username and password.
4. Once logged in, your units will be listed on the left-hand side of the screen. You will only allocate for
semester two. Click on each unit and enter your lecture, tutorial and laboratory
preferences/allocations.
5. When you have finished, click the Show My Preferences/Show My Allocations button to view your
preferences/allocations.
6. When complete, click Logout. It is particularly important to logout, to secure your preferences, if you are
using a computer on campus. If you fail to logout your preferences could be changed by another person
using that computer.
Note: some lecture and tutorial times may change during the adjustment period. Department
administrators will advise you if a unit you are enrolled in is changed or cancelled.

Monash University Studies Online
(MUSO/Blackboard)
Monash University Studies Online (MUSO) refers to a collection of online learning tools, including Blackboard.
Blackboard
Blackboard allows you access to online study-related resources related to the units you are enrolled in at
Monash. Resources and features include:
Unit outline and lecture notes available for Online discussion groups
download Grades
Important announcements Calendar of key dates for the semester
Quizzes and assessment Uploading of assignments
Please explore the information on this site to help you make the most of Blackboard. New resources will be
added often, and the latest support documents and announcements will be published here.
As with any software, there are a number of technical considerations. You will need to pay particular attention
to browser version and settings in order to avoid any problems with logging in and accessing materials.
To login go to: https://my.monash.edu.au/muso/blackboard/login/
For computer set-up, login or any problems you are experiencing with blackboard contact MUSO
support on:
Website: http://www.monash.edu.au/muso/support/students/contact.html
Telephone: 03 9903 1268
Email: muso.support@calt.monash.edu.au
How do I get access to Blackboard?
An account for units you are enrolled in is created automatically by central University systems and can be
accessed through your my.monash portal – http://my.monash.edu.au.
Changes to student enrolments will be processed frequently; however they may take a few days to be reflected
in Blackboard. If you are a student requiring special access to a subject (ie. not officially enrolled), you must ask
your unit leader to forward a special access request to MUSO support on your behalf.
What happens to my access if I am sitting a deferred exam?
A list of students is compiled at the end of each semester containing all students who will be sitting deferred
exams. If you are one of these students, you will retain MUSO access until you have sat your deferred exam(s).
Note: Not all units have a Blackboard account, check with your lecturer or unit leader.
- 13 -
Applying for Credit
What is Credit?
Credit is granted to a student towards their current degree for PREVIOUS studies they have successfully
completed at an institution such as TAFE, a university, or an accredited college. The credit granted may be in
the form of:
Specific credit, exempting the student from a unit within the degree;
Non-specific credit, exempting the student from an elective within the degree.
How can I apply?
All local undergraduate students can apply for credit after they have been offered a place in a Faculty course.
Students seeking credit transfer should complete the Credit application form, which will be available from the
information desk on enrolment day, or download the form from our website at
http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/ and bring a completed form with you on enrolment day.
Please refer to the following website for submission closing dates when applying for credit
http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/closing-dates.html
What do I include in my application?
The following information should accompany all applications for credit:
An original or legally certified copy of your academic results (this is sometimes known as an academic
transcript or statement of results).
A copy of a detailed course structure, this will provide details of the duration of the course, the number
of units to be studied each semester to complete the course, the grading system used.
A copy of the syllabus for the units you have studied, which should be from the year the unit was
studied (this is sometimes known as a subject/course guide or unit guide, outline or handout). Each
syllabus should include a breakdown of topics covered; the number of contact hours; a breakdown of
the assessment criteria; a list of recommended textbooks and other references. A handbook subject
synopsis is not acceptable.
Students who are applying for credit for studies completed at Monash University (eg Enhancement
Studies) will generally not need to attach any of the above information to their applications as
administrators have access to this information.
How many credits will I be entitled to?
The number of credits you are entitled to depends on your previous study and the course for which you have
been made an offer. The “In2Monash” Credit Advisor will assist you in making a formal credit application.
The credit advisor checks whether your previous studies will earn you a credit in a Monash Business and
Economics course and provides a personalised course map showing your units and electives. It takes about 4
minutes to complete the 4 steps.
The advice given by “In2Monash” is not a formal assessment. You must still submit a formal application for
Credit. “In2Monash” and the Credit Advisor is available online at:
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/study/in2monash/
- 14 -
Results
Dates of results publication can be found in your Monash University 2010 diary. Please find below a guideline

semester will have the grade WN recorded on their academic transcript.
WI 0 Withdrawn Incomplete – Students who are unable to undertake or complete all
assessment for a unit due to extreme circumstances beyond their control occurring
or having effect after the commencement of the Withdrawn Fail period.
- 15 -
Intermission
Intermission is available to students who wish to apply to take a period of leave from their studies. If you are
experiencing difficulties with your studies or you wish to take time off from study for any reason, you can apply
for Intermission (leave of absence) for up to a maximum of one academic year at any one time. When granting
leave the Faculty reserves students a place in their course. The total period of approved leave is counted in the
time limit for completion of the course (ten years). If you do not re-enrol or intermit your course, your enrolment
will be considered lapsed.
Studies undertaken elsewhere during the period of Intermission will not be credited to your course.
If you are on a conditional enrolment you may be unable to seek Intermission or, if approved, your condition will
be applied to your enrolment upon return.
Domestic students can apply for Intermission via WES.
International students will be referred to their Student Services Office on their home campus or you can
download the Application for Intermission form from: http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/.
Under the ESOS Act, intermission for international students on a student visa can only be approved on grounds
of compassionate or compelling reasons e.g. genuine illness. See visa conditions for international students:
http://www.monash.edu.au/international/courses/visa/information/ Students who have been granted an
intermission are normally expected to leave Australia within 28 days of the approval to intermit. Students are
required to seek advice about the possible implications to their student visa from the Health, Wellbeing and
Development Student Advice office http://www.hub.monash.edu.au office on their campus BEFORE departing
Australia.
Please note: If you are on intermission for Semester 1 only, you are required to enrol in units for Semester 2. If
you wish to extend your intermission, you must re-apply; failure to reapply for intermission will result in you
losing your place in your course. If you are returning to study after a period of Intermission (leave of absence)
you need to amend your enrolment via WES.
Course Discontinuation
Most students can discontinue their course enrolment via WES. Others, who wish to withdraw from all units and
end their course enrolment, must complete and lodge an Enrolment Amendment Form indicating a 'total
discontinuation from course'. Enrolment Amendment Forms are available from the University Student Services
Office on any campus. Alternatively, you may submit notification of your discontinuation in writing, addressed to
the University Student Services Office on your home campus.
NOTE: Please check the deadlines for submitting forms as discontinuation of a course has implications for the
refund of fees.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: Monash is legally obliged to report your
course discontinuation to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and this could result in the
cancellation of your student visa. Students should seek advice from the Health, Wellbeing and Development
Student Advice office (http://www.hub.monash.edu.au) on your campus regarding the possible visa impacts
BEFORE formally discontinuing from the University.
- 16 -
Special Consideration
What is Special Consideration?
The Faculty of Business and Economics understands that life has its ups and downs. Chances are during the
course of your degree you experience something that hampers your ability to study at your best. If so, you can
apply for Special Consideration.
On what basis can I apply for Special Consideration?
Special Consideration is usually accepted on the basis of either:
Serious illness or psychological condition;
Loss or bereavement;
Hardship/trauma;
Military, jury duty or emergency services duties.
To apply for Special Consideration you can either:
Obtain the form directly from your Faculty Student Services Office; OR
Download the form from: http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/
Refer to the Faculty Special Consideration Policy for further information
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/secretariat/policies/spec-con.html
If you are unsure whether or not you are able eligible to apply for Special Consideration contact your Faculty
Student Services office for assistance.
Students should lodge applications for special consideration together with the appropriate documentation and
evidence, with the relevant office, no later than two working days after their last scheduled examination, or for
other assessment tasks, within two working days of the submission deadline. THE FACULTY IS UNABLE TO
ACCEPT LATE APPLICATIONS.
What is a deferred examination?
A deferred examination is an opportunity for you to sit/re-sit your examination. The deferred exam will not be
exactly the same but will cover material studied during the unit and will be set in the same format.
The Official University period for the sitting of deferred exams is around the middle of January for Semester 2
units and the middle of August for Semester 1 units.
- 17 -
Grievance
The university has formal grievance or appeal procedures in the areas of exclusion, discipline and sex-based
harassment that are separate from the academic and administrative grievance process.
Complaints from students in relation to academic and administrative matters are managed within the framework
of the University Academic and Administrative Complaints and Grievances Policy.
The dean's nominee charged with dealing with such matters is the Faculty of Business and Economics student
grievance officer. The student grievance officer may be contacted for advice or as a facilitator to resolve issues
of concern at:
Undergraduate grievances: UndergraduateStudentGrievances@Buseco.monash.edu.au
Graduate grievances: GraduateStudentGrievances@Buseco.monash.edu.au
Further information on grievance policy and procedure can be found at:
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/student/grievance-information.html
Equity
The Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics has appointed a number of staff to act as student equity
officers. These officers are a contact and referral point for staff and students seeking assistance with student

Academic Progress Rules
In the Faculty of Business and Economics, a student's academic progress for each academic year is deemed
unsatisfactory for any of the following reasons:
failure of 50 per cent or more of enrolled credit points over the academic year (December of the previous year
to November);
failure of the same compulsory unit twice; or
failure to comply with any terms or conditions imposed by an Academic Progress Committee of the Faculty.
What happens if any of these reasons apply to me?
If any of these reasons apply to you, you will receive a letter from the Faculty requiring you to "show cause" to the
Faculty Academic Progress Committee as to why you should not be excluded from your degree and/or the Faculty.
Do I still re-enrol?
Yes, if you are asked to “show cause” or if you think that any of these reasons apply to you, you must still re-enrol, on
the basis that you will not be excluded from your degree and/or the Faculty.
How do I show cause?
The letter will advise you how to make a submission in writing, with substantiating evidence (eg. statutory
declarations, medical certificates etc) to the Faculty Academic Progress Committee.
What happens if I do not respond?
Failure to respond will result in automatic exclusion from your degree and/or the faculty. International students who
are excluded from the Faculty face automatic visa cancellation, and a possible 3-year exclusion period from returning
to Australia, by DIAC.
Where will the letter be sent to?
All correspondence will be sent to the postal address you have recorded with the University as well as your Monash
student email account.
What if I am away on holidays or I have returned to my home country?
If you are away from your normal postal address (eg you have returned to your home country, or you are on holidays)
you must update your address for the period you are away. Please go to http://my.monash.edu.au/wes/ to change
your address on the system if required. Failure to provide a current postal address is not an acceptable reason for
failing to respond.
Will I have to attend a hearing of the Faculty Academic Progress Committee?
You will be advised by letter and email if you are required to attend a hearing. You should ensure that you are
available during the January-March summer period when the Committees are scheduled to hold hearings at each
campus. If it is impossible for you to attend your hearing in person, a teleconference may be organised. Contact your
Faculty Student Services Office on your home campus for more information.
International students should contact the Health, Wellbeing and Development Student Advice office
http://www.hub.monash.edu.au office on your campus as early as possible on 9905 3156 (Clayton) or 9903 2500
